Con Quest!

Con Quest!

The debut novel from bestselling author Sam Maggs (that’s me!), Con Quest! is a comics convention adventure about fandom, family, and finding your place in the world!

Cat and Alex are excited to be at the world’s largest comics convention ― and they’re even more excited to compete in The Quest, a huge scavenger hunt. The big prize: a chance to meet their favorite nerdy celebrity!

The twins ditch their older sister Fiona and set off to find geeky clues, tackle nerdy challenges, and cross as many items as possible off their Quest list, which includes: volunteering at an Artist Alley booth, gathering cosplayers in enough colors to make a double rainbow, and even finding something healthy to eat in the convention center!

Can the twins work together even when they disagree on how to compete? Will Fiona find the Cat and Alex before their parents realize they’re missing? Most importantly, can these ultimate fans complete the Quest?
