Book #1 in the Table Titans Club series
A middle school gaming club's future is at risk. Can Val save it without losing her cool?
Valeria Winters, a fantasy-loving middle schooler, finds her place with the Table Titans gaming club. But when the club's future is threatened by a wrestling coach and a vengeful classmate, Val must embark on a quest to save it. With her temper as fiery as her Valkyrie namesake, she struggles to keep her cool. Can Val channel her inner druid and roll a natural 20 in charisma to unite her new friends and preserve their haven? Adventure, humor, and friendship await in this tale of belonging and bravery.
Growing pains, adventure, and 20-sided dice abound in this new graphic novel series about a middle school Dungeon & Dragons club from Eisner and Harvey award-winning cartoonist Scott Kurtz. Valeria Winters has an easier time finding trouble than making friends. A fantasy-obsessed nerd with the legendary confidence–and temper–of a Valkyrie, Val promises her mom that things will be different at her new school. “No more fighting!” As if by fate, she meets the Table Titans right away–Alan, Andrew, and Darius, who run the school’s tabletop gaming club. Finally, Val has found her own adventuring party! And even better . . . a place where she belongs. So when the future of the club is threatened, Val makes it her personal quest to save the Table Titans. She’ll have to face the fire-breathing wrestling coach and popular girl Kate, who seems out for revenge. Revenge for what? Val has no clue. As the quest grows more and more complicated, Val wishes she was like her peaceful druid Lulani from the Table Titans’ campaign, whose calm voice always prevails. If she loses her cool in real life, Val might lose more than the Table Titans club. She’ll have to roll a natural 20 in charisma to keep her new friends together. Set in the same universe as the Eisner Award-winning webcomic PvP, Scott Kurtz’s artwork blends zany, fantastical visuals with slice-of-life humor. For fans of fantasy and coming of age stories alike, Table Titans finds humor, heart, and adventure in a tale of friendship and finding your people.
