Twelve-year-old Grey has been sucked into a hacked, virtual reality version of Fortnite Battle Royale along with one hundred other players. To get home, he must become one of the top five players before the season ends, or he’s stuck in Fortnite for another two months. Grey and his friend have gone up in ranks and are learning how to build structures to improve their tactics. While they’re not at the top by any means, they are solidly in the middle of the pack. They aspire to be like the Top Player, who has been unbeatable for fifteen games in a row. No one knows how the Top Player does it, but everyone is chasing him. Before Grey can aspire to beat the Top Player, though, he has to get through the Rival players that are just above him. These players are threatened by him and his friend and hunt them down in every battle. Grey wants to beat them, but he can’t figure out how. How can Grey survive long enough to beat the Top Player? And will he ever escape the Fortnite world?
This isn't something I would normally read. But a lot of people I know play fortnite. And being a blind individual I don't understand a lot of how the game works. And reading this was quite fun just to feel a part of the game even though it's unofficial even for a moment.
Reading aloud to my 10 year old we are always captivated by the battle scenes, the strategizing among players and development of characters. Looking forward to book 3!
Trapped in Battle Royal (Battle for Loot Lake) is a fairly decent book, its an unofficial book but still covers most of what's in the game its a story on a boy named Grey i'm not one hundred percent sure if he has a last name I haven't read the first book in some time now but he was sucked into the game soon after he opened it (he was about to play with his friend) but suddenly he's in the game I guess the setting would be Fortnite just because the title says battle for Loot Lake doesn’t mean it's only at Loot Lake its in a whole lot more areas. It’s good I mean the book is a during an early few seasons of the game I gave it a four star rating only because it had the ability to drag me in but i'm not too much of a fan of Fortnite yes even if i'm not a fan I could still like this book but i think some of the ideas they put together to “win” were kinda dumb probably cause they were inexperienced and or were frightened and just wanted to get home. I think you could really come to like this book even if your not a fan of the game but you have to at least understand the game before reading the book not too much the book does give you some emotion and draw you in so if you like video games and see the idea of being sucked into a video game then you would more than likely enjoy this book. It was a decent read for me I read it a few times, I think you would really like the book if you liked games but I guess even if you didn't like games much you would still like the book because it has emotion like most other books that aren't video game type books.
