Learning to be a Sneaker (not that kind but "one who sneaks") helps a young archer save her town from a dazzling trickster and to let a broken friendship go in this video gameâbased spinoff following the 2023 series opener.Red-haired, green-eyed archer Jane is crushed when her once-tight friend, Angie, takes up with new BFF Janice. But she's even more upset when the two girls join new arrivals Kellen the Magically Handsome Archer and his flashy Ultra-Cucumbers to push her and her loyal Cucumbers teammates right out of Jazzypickleton. As it turns out, Kellen is actually in the pay of a rival kingdom, and it's all part of an evil scheme to steal all of Jazzypickleton's elixir and Royale trophies. Fortunately, Jane enters a secret cave, where she meets the mystic Order of Sneakers-and though she can't get them to change their name to something less dorky (like Sneakists or even Sneaketeers), they do teach her the art of becoming invisible by mystically letting unnecessary attachments go. Jane returns just in time to save the town and send Kellen the Magically et cetera packing. Even non-gamers will find the typecast characters-ranging from green goblins and brown-skinned Hog Riders to blond armored warriors with "big metal balls"-amusing and easily identifiable, and if the melees tend to be massively violent, no one is ever actually hurt.More legendarious feats and fun. (Graphic fantasy. 10-15)
Based on the global hit Clash of Clans and penned by superstar graphic novelist Gene Luen Yang, this second volume of a new action-packed series brings the characters from everyone's favorite mobile gaming sensation to life! Once upon a time, archers Jane and Angie were best friends who did everything together. That is, until, one day during battle Jane found herself stranded and alone in an otherworldly cave where she stumbled upon a mysterious scroll...with an even more mysterious message. Continuing the epic graphic novel series set in the world of Clash of Clans and Clash Royale , Gene Luen Yang pens an offbeat and action-packed tale that turns the fantasy-adventure genre on its head!
