Books with author Nicolas Cole

When people think of World of Warcraft, they think of a socially awkward, acne-faced teenager with "no life." Confessions of a Teenage Gamer challenges those stereotypes and shows how a kid from a wealthy family with every opportunity at his fingertips ended up finding himself in a video game. Confessions of a Teenage Gamer is funny in its honest retellings of teenage puberty, witty in its commentary on rich suburban life, and thought provoking in a way that questions the meaning behind success and happiness. This true story draws parallels between sports, music, and video games—and shows how, at the core, they teach many of the same lessons. With a successful spine surgeon for a father, a music teacher for a mother, and a house full of driven, high-achieving siblings, Nicolas Cole's Confessions of a Teenage Gamer shows how far one boy will go to chase his dream of becoming a professional gamer.

Emma is an empathic eleven-year-old orphan with emerald green eyes who has brightly colored sparkles shooting from her hands that can heal (or hurt) people. Jag is an adventurer from a land that doesn’t exist on any map who can sometimes see into the future and is perpetually propelled by curiosity. By combining the powers that make them different, Emma and Jag escape kidnappers, fly to a land near the moon, ride a rail car through a mountain to a mysterious castle belonging to legendary inventor, Ol’ Crazy Crudus, and soar through the sky strapped to a sputtering Jet Pack. Together they navigate what it means to have a family, a best friend, a place to call home, and how to choose between them when impossible decisions must be made.
