The Talent Game
A thrilling urban adventure that weaves
everyday sporting dreams with a
mysterious game of strange magic
You’ve got power—loser power!
​
Max almost gives up football because of these words from his teammate. But he keeps playing.
He wants to be brilliant at something.
Anything.
​
Then, a mysterious host invites him to play a different kind of game. The prize—extraordinary talent.
Max gets challenges to complete, other players to compete with and rules to follow, like keeping everything secret.
Max’s talents on and off the pitch emerge in ways unimaginable. But the game grows deadly.
Max must discover who to trust and what the game host really wants―or lose everything.

Reviews for The Talent Game
“This is a delightful book for young adults aged eleven or older…a book of dreams and magic…what’s not to like.”
Ann Chapman, Otaki Mail November 2023
ReedsyDiscovery - Mary Lanni
A fabulous, unique storyline that will have tweenagers, teens and adults alike on the edge of their seat, wondering how it will all pan out. The character development and suspense weaved through the story kept me engaged and I found it very hard to put down. A great read.
