About this listen
"You can’t help falling in love with this hilarious upside-down take on Dungeons & Dragons. I read; I cheered; I laughed out loud." (Gordon Korman)
In the mystical realm of Bríandalör, every day the brave and the bold delve into hidden temples or forgotten dungeons, battling vile monsters and evil wizards to loot their treasure hoards for sweet, sweet magic items.
But in their free time, our heroes - Thromdurr the mighty barbarian, Devis the shifty thief, Vela the noble paladin, Sorrowshade the Gloom Elf assassin, and Albiorix the (good!) wizard - need to relax and unwind.
That’s why they meet up once a week to play Homerooms & Hall Passes: a role-playing game where they assume the characters of average American eighth graders.
But when the five young adventurers are magically transported into their H&H game by an ancient curse, they must band together to survive their toughest challenge yet: middle school.
Who knew that battling ogres would be easier than passing algebra or navigating the cafeteria social scene? They must use what they’ve learned from playing Homerooms & Hall Passes to figure out how to save their game world (which might actually be real).
Dungeons & Dragons meets Jumanji in this new, laugh-out-loud adventure series from the author of the beloved Hamstersaurus Rex series.

Story
My name is Killian Dunn. I'm eighteen, a high school senior, a gamer, and, oh yeah, the Harbinger of the Apocalypse. Not exactly what I had in mind as a career path. Reality took a nosedive when Armageddon came knocking. It brought with it classes, levels, and skills, as well as a horde of Lovecraftian abominations to use them on. I never wanted any of this, but the sick god who orchestrated this whole nightmare has my family. Their lives are forfeit if I refuse to play his game. The prize? A wish. With it, I can protect my family, fix everything that's broken, and save the world.

Story
Cog looks like a normal 12-year-old boy. But his name is short for “cognitive development”, and he was built to learn. After an accident leaves him damaged, Cog wakes up in an unknown lab - and Gina, the scientist who created and cared for him, is nowhere to be found. Surrounded by scientists who want to study him and remove his brain, Cog recruits four robot accomplices for a mission to find her. Cog, ADA, Proto, Trashbot, and Car’s journey will likely involve much cognitive development in the form of mistakes, but Cog is willing to risk everything to find his way back to Gina.

Jackson's class as an Ironwood Monk puts him right in the front line. He gets stronger the more he gets hit and can pass that on to the rest of the team. That is if he can get his mom to actually let him fight. No one, least of all Jackson, fully understands the importance he holds for his family's future or that of all Talos. He will have to navigate challenges both in dungeons and the halls of power if he is to find a new home.

Elliot Richardson thought he’d lost everything. He’d come home from deployment to find his wife cheating on him, his sons strangers and his life in tatters. Driving away, unsure where he was going, he fell through an interdimensional rift and found himself in a very different world, a city of magic and mystery and dangers beyond his comprehension, a land spinning out of control. Innovations from the distant west unsettle the monarchy and challenge the position of the aristocrats and warlords who hold the kingdom in their grasp.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

I woke up in a battlefield triage tent, bloody, battered, and crippled. It wasn't just my arm and shoulder that was broken, but also my mind. I couldn't remember anything—my name, who or where I was, or what had happened to me. Could things get worse? Of course they could. The battle wasn’t over, and it appeared that our enemy wasn't content with just a victory. No. They sought to wipe us out. But why? If I lived long enough, perhaps I would find out.

In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.

I Smiled from Start to Finish
In the Advanced Dungeon Master's Guide which came out something like forty-five years ago, there was a cartoon in which a group of adventures sat around the table with dice saying they were playing a game about industrialists and businessmen. Tom O'Donnell has taken that idea and run with it. His adventurers play a game called Home Rooms and Hall Passes in which they pretend to be mundane middle schoolers striving to succeed in our world. Thanks to a curse, they end up getting put into their game and I must say it was an endearing adventure. O'Donnell either has a bunch of middle schoolers or teaches in a middle school because the setting was humorously realistic as the adventuring kids tackle subjects like algebra while trying to figure out how to get home again. They have some touching problems and frankly, the story didn't go in the ways I expected. There's also one NPC in particular who seems to understand them that I would have liked to see go to their adventuring world with them--but then, maybe that is what sequels are for.

Gaming Boring Middle School: SO MUCH FUN!!!
What do a wizard, an assassin, a thief, a berserker, and a paladin do when they take a night off from adventuring? Play the world's greatest non-adventuring game Homerooms and Hall Passes!!! But when an evil curse causes their respite to be their doom, the adventuring party is transported to the non-magical land of Suburbia and forced to play the game of Middle School for real! Here our band of adventurers must navigate the mundane horrors of Algebra, Cafeteria Lunches, Class Presidents, Band Recitals, Vice Principals, and a horrifically adorable game called OinkPop. The trick, of course, is they have to play by the rules of Suburbia: No Poison, No Magic, No Berserking, No Slaying, and No Stealing (okay, maybe a little stealing).
It's a very fun setup, but I admit I kept expecting it to eventually wear thin. But author Tom O'Donnell does an excellent job of leveling up each chapter and never letting inertia set in. I've listened to it twice now (the second time with my 8 year-old) and we both loved talking about the challenges the heroes overcome while making new allies and enemies. And the jokes. Oh, the jokes. I particularly loved how some of the characters from the land of Suburbia, supposedly NPCs, end up being just as heroic as our adventurers.
James Fouhey sounds like he is having the time of his life playing the different archetypes to the hilt while juxtaposing their voices with the terrors of middle school. It makes an already great book feel like magic.
