Lucas Maxwell grew up in Nova Scotia, playing on Nintendo, Dungeons and Dragons and reading comic books. He has been working as a school librarian for over fifteen years and is passionate about promoting the freedom to read and providing safe and welcoming spaces for everyone. In 2017, he was named the UK's School Librarian of the Year by the School Library Association. In 2022, he won the UK Literacy Association's Reading For Pleasure Champion Award.

This book is the kind of high-level wizard's tome every aspiring Game Master should have. Lucas's experience and empathy are second-to-none, and I will be recommending this book to every educator I know, because between this and his first, there's really no better place to start adventuring.
