** I read an advancer reader copy of this book that I received from Edelweiss . **

This is a fun, quick read for middle-grade readers. Obviously based on the Pokemon Go game, this book will attract readers interested in adventure, monsters, and gaming. The characters are well-done, the world-building is deep enough to keep things interesting and the story has enough action and humor to keep kids reading. I really liked the idea of having to fight virtual monsters in the real world because, as a fairly serious gamer myself, that's one thing that I always thought would be amazing!
