The Game of Sunken Places
by M.T. Anderson
When Brian and Gregory receive an invitation to stay at a distant relative's strange manse . . . well, they should know better than to go, since this is a middle-grade adventure novel. But they go anyway. Why not? Once there, they stumble upon The Game of Sunken Places, a board game that mirrors a greater game for which they have suddenly became players. Soon the boys are dealing with attitudinal trolls, warring kingdoms, and some very starchy britches. Luckily, they have wit, deadpan observation, and a keen sense of adventure on their side.

Excerpt:
They entered the basement with the caution of archaeologists stepping into a scared tomb. There, the two boys set to work lighting the gas lamps with the matches. Soon, three flames lit the sepulchral chamber.

The maid yelled down, "You shouldn't be in there. Poking around. You'll do yourselves a ghastly damage."
