What's the worst thing about being world saving heroes that nobody knows about? The fact that we're world saving heroes and nobody knows about it. You'd think defeating an evil Goblin Queen and saving the world would have skyrocketed us to fame and fortune, but guess what? It didn't. Not even close. But we're about to change all that. Hopefully. You see, we kinda, sorta stumbled upon the key to bringing back the entire dwarven race. Read that again. The. Entire. Dwarven. Race. That's right, everybody. If that doesn't get us some recognition and make life in this world easier for us, I don't know what will.Of course, we first have to deal with some Monfolk, and some pirates, and, oh yeah, defeat the giant, ancient earth elemental that's turned all the dwarves to stone.Yeah, that last one's a pretty big one. Literally. That thing's ginormous. But we got a plan. Not a very well thought out plan, but a plan nonetheless. And with a lot of luck, we might just pull this off.James's Ragtag Adventures in Questworld is a middle grade, fantasy adventure series for fans of Percy Jackson, The Last Kids on Earth, and Trapped in a Video Game

What's the first thing you do after you wake up one morning and find yourself trapped inside what you believe is your favorite video game?If you said try and find a way back home, you'd be completely wrong. Especially if you're anything like my friends and I. Instead, you use your game knowledge to finish a few easy quests, get yourself some money for room and board, and then hope a way back home just conveniently falls into your lap.That is of course, until you decide to take on a quest that turns out to be just a little bit out of your league. How little bit you ask? Little bit enough that you end up releasing an ancient goblin queen named Vanika, who's only goal is to take over the world with her army of goblins.Yeah, looking back on it, it really wasn't one of our better decisions. But hey, it could be worse right? I mean, I can't think of anything right this second, but I'm pretty sure there's something out there that's way worse than this.But anyway, now we gotta take our extremely worn out equipment, and barely passable fighting skills, and use them to defeat an entire goblin army, including their magical, super powered queen, before they decide to take over the world. No pressure right? I mean, how hard can it really be?I guess there's only one way to find out.James's Ragtag Adventures in Questworld is a middle grade, fantasy adventure for fans of Percy Jackson, The Last Kids on Earth, and Trapped in a Video Game
