""This is a masterpiece!"" - Michelle Ajebon Age 10, 4th grade ""Darius Daniels: Game On is a unique, beautiful blend of prose and poetry. The book will not only entertain children, but educate them as well."" - Glenn Brewer, Teacher and Award-winning Artist, Illustrator, Author and Comic Book Publisher ""Caroline Brewer has written a book that provides the tools that our children need in the language that they can encompass now. Ms. Brewer's work captures poetic language in all of its rich array of poetic possibilities...not only the rap, but the Pulitzer Prize-winning form. It celebrates haikus, limericks, sonnets, blues, and spirituals, the acrobatics of language rhythm and movement that we showcase in our communities every day. Darius Daniels: Game On! should be in every classroom. I look forward to that day."" - Karen Wilson-Ama'Echefu PhD, Scholar of American History, Storyteller, Teaching Artist and Singer ""Caroline is a master storyteller; her voice and style is breath of fresh air! You are going to love Darius and the rest of his crew (including his little sister, Ashanti!) and laugh out loud at all the fun, silly jokes here. Yay for Caroline! Game on, indeed!"" - Amy Tipton, Editor of Feral Girl Books ""Caroline Brewer's Darius Daniels: Game On is definitely the power-up that re-energizes the idiom, 'Life is a game.' Which it is for Darius, who takes on the pixelated world of his imagination to battle monsters both on screen and internally. This easy-to-read series moves quick. The language is playful and sure to get young people excited about reading."" -Alan King, author of POINT BLANK and DRIFT
