Editions of Frankie Best Hates Quests by Chris Smith - Goodreads

Frankie Best Hates Quests brings together gaming, fantasy and relatable characters in an accessible epic adventure! Smiths world building was amazingly magical, and throughout every chapter I felt transported to Pararellia. It is YA (young adult) but don't let anyone tell you these books can only be enjoyed by or purely for youngsters. Instead they end up at Grandad's house and Granda is a bit unique, they have been kept away for a while and can't really remember why. That's where he met Greg James, and in between messing about on the airwaves the pair created the bestselling Kid Normal series.The chapters are short, there are diary entries, view points change, overall it is a light hearted adventure read and if you need to drop out of our world for a little while this is a fab one to enter. Not only is she stuck at Grandad’s for a whole week while her parents swan off to the arctic, now she’s discovered that there’s NO WIFI anywhere in the house! To have any chance of rescuing her grandfather, Frankie has to get up to speed, quickly, with all the rules and lore of the genre (luckily, Joel is usually on hand to help, in a very annoying way). A fun and funny adventure- with a narrator that frequently breaks the fourth wall - that deconstructs and gently mocks a lot of the classic quest fantasy tropes. Joel - Frankie's annoying nerd brother who spend all his times playing computer games like Elf-Quest and just generally being really super annoying.
