false <![CDATA[The Game]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170347842m/47571.jpg 47571 3 Hayley's parents disappeared when she was a baby. Since then, she has been raised and homeschooled by her grandparents. Grandad is overworked and travels a lot; Grandma is much too strict and never lets her meet any children her own age. When Hayley does something wrong&#151;she is not quite sure what&#151;they pack her off to her aunts in Ireland. To Hayley's shock, her family is much bigger than she thought; to her delight, the children all play what they call &#147;the game,&#148; where they visit a place called &#147;the mythosphere.&#148; And while she plays the game, Hayley learns more about her own place in the world than she had ever expected. This original novella by Diana Wynne Jones is sharply funny, fast-paced, and surprising until its very end&#151;like all of this acclaimed author's work. 2954831 1 3 2007 The Game total:482|5:3|4:13|3:23|2:1|1:1| 482 1688 665 92 4 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 17 20:52:46 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 20:55:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 24 09:21:21 -0700 2007 Sat Dec 08 12:37:46 -0800 2007
