"The judges unanimously thought that Ultimate Gamer was hugely popular with their students. It was probably the most picked-up book on the list. My 10-year-old, who is not a reader, grabbed this book off me and read it from cover to cover." ? Judge of the UKLA Book Awards 2022 (Information Books category)
