I found out about this game, Spoilers!, from an ALSC listserv. It was developed by Kendra Wright, formerly at the Sno-Isle Library System in the state of Washington. Though this game requires library staff to commit to reading a lot of middle-grade books, it sure seems like a great way to develop relationships around reading. It might be a really fun way to work with kids who struggle with reading, or who need more encouragement to read during the summer (or any time). You could offer it specifically to a smaller group of kids, or try it out on an individual basis with a kid who spends time at the library already, but who might need a little extra nudge to read enthusiastically.
