Giveaway: VOYAGERS Books for Middle-Grade Readers

November 2, 2015 by Sandie 2 Comments

My younger kids and I read the first two books in the VOYAGERS series, and we were hooked. My oldest son wasn’t into the 39 CLUES series, but my younger two found the VOYAGERS plot fascinating and fun. For me, it was like THE RIGHT STUFF meets ARMAGEDDON but with twelve year old characters. I loved that the cast was diverse and that the girl characters weren’t all smart and sweet but also quite Machiavellian and ambitious and unemotional. It’s important that girls of all kinds get represented in middle-grade books, and I loved that the authors did such a great job depicting really different kinds of kids.

The second book amps up the action as the Alpha team sets out on their mission and handles obstacle after obstacle, not to mention huge, game-changing revelations. Kids who read these books can enhance their reading experience through the series’ multi-platform opportunities on VOYAGERS HQ.

ABOUT VOYAGERS HQ – MULTI-PLATFORM CONTENT

As the young heroes in VOYAGERS journey into outer space to save planet Earth, readers are invited to become part of the story by joining the crew through the multi-platform, VOYAGERS HQ. The HQ extends the adventure beyond the page, unlocking games and activities on their devices.

Each book has clues and codes that lead to world extensions to be explored, played, and shared. Your online profile tracks your progress through the VOYAGERS universe, and gives you rewards, ranking and virtually currency for each product code redeemed.

Readers become part of the VOYAGERS world, which extends beyond the books to a digital interactive experience, and downloadable pay-for-play mobile apps games.

Readers can create their own custom VOYAGERS character, follow the team and experience this space adventure through the eyes of their own virtual droid.
