Product Information

Christopher grew up in Manchester where he spent most of his childhood in the local library dreaming up stories, but now lives in Gloucestershire where he spends most of his time in the local library dreaming up stories.

She now has an income that can help her pay down her student loans and help with her parents medical bills. Meeting her teammates, Adjoa, Ibrahim, Oscar and Min, Ami learns from the Host that they have been chosen to save the world and that they must work together to find the Answer. Shortlisted for the Indie Book Awards, the Teach Primary Book Awards, the BKCAT Book Awards, the Dudley Children's Book Award, the TVED Book Awards and the Redbridge Children's Book Awards. Written with style and the same brilliant originality shown in all Edge’s books this is an adventure unlike others.The next level is the planning of individual stages for the game while ensuring that all safety requirements are met. Tepid greetings occur in the lobby, prior to the foursome entering the elevator for the ride up to the designated floor. Sara Hall, our main protagonist, is a newly minted MBA who supposedly was an incredible student with amazing recommendations from professors, those she had interned with, etc and yet she was having trouble finding a job. Through the use of deadpan humour, lightning wit and a commitment to poking fun at pomposity, Bryony Littlefair’s poems show us what the world is really like.

I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! This leaves you having to check the solutions page just to work out whether you reached the correct answer not. Midway through the book I really felt that the tension unraveled and a lot of what happens in the escape room is predictable although completely unbelievable. She is now based in Melbourne, Australia where she raises three sons and is a foster mum to Labrador puppies learning to be guide dogs. Sara seems a little more self aware and concerned about how the company cares nothing for people and only for the bottom line.I think the best part of the story is how we slowly are privy to why each person was chosen to be in the escape room and how everything from both timelines ties together. The characters in “The Escape Room” are dark and vicious and have absolutely no redeeming qualities and yet I was glued to the book like nothing else existed. The story is told while alternating between the current day chapters taking place in the elevator escape room between four wall street finance colleagues, and the portions from the past filled in from a former employee of this same financial organization. With no other instructions, they enter an elevator, discovering that the elevator is their Escape Room. There are a wide variety of puzzle types, including both traditional puzzles on the page and more interactive puzzles that involve paper-crafting.

It is hard to go into too much detail without giving anything away, however this was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I have no doubt that children in my class will devour it.ESCAPE lincoln PICK YOUR ESCAPE ROOM BELOW FOR LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS CONTACT US ON 07340 506 644 WE NOW HAVE 2 VENUES, PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE LOCATION PRIOR TO BOOKING.
