About the Book
“The game is about to begin, and readers can compete alongside Gil Goodson and his fellow contestants in the Gollywhopper Games, sponsored by the Golly Toy and Game Company. A million dollars is the prize, but for Gil it goes much deeper. His father’s been unjustly accused of embezzling from the Golly Company, so Gil wants to clear his dad’s name – then use the money to move as far away as he can get. This is a well-written story with great characters and an interactive element. Kids of all ages will enjoy and learn from THE GOLLYWHOPPER GAMES. So, are you ready — to win?”
- Vicki Erwin, Main Street Books, St Charles MO
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Welcome to the biggest, bravest, boldest competition the world has ever seen! The Gollywhopper Games! Are you ready?
Gil Goodson sure hopes he’s ready. His future happiness depends on winning the Golly Toy & Game Company’s ultimate competition. If Gil wins, his dad has promised the family can move out of Orchard Heights—away from all the gossip, the false friends, and bad press that have plagued the Goodsons ever since The Incident.
Gil’s been studying for months. He thinks he knows everything about Golly’s history and merchandise. But does he know enough to answer the trivia? Solve the puzzles? Complete the stunts? Will it be more than all the other kids know? Gil’s formidable opponents have their own special talents. He must be quicker and smarter than all of them.
The ride of Gil’s life is about to begin. Win! win! win!
