Your cell phone goes dead. And a voice coming from nowhere and everywhere all at once booms: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCongratulations! Your planet has been selected!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd just like that, Earth becomes the newest unwilling participant in a high-stakes intergalactic game show competition. What that means becomes terrifyingly clear as monsters drop onto the front lawn, an interface appears in your field of vision, and you--and your nine- and six-year-old sons and three-year-old daughter--are each offered a choice of supernatural abilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart of you wants to laugh. Your husband's away on business, coming home late tonight. Well, he was. But you clamp down on your rising panic. It doesn't matter how much harder it will be. You're a mom. Your kids need you; it's up to you to keep them safe. You can do this. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen, in quick succession, you discover: 1) your toddler has unilaterally decided her supernatural power should be for her beloved turtle stuffie to come alive. 2) every person on Earth will have to fight, no matter their age. You're going to have to teach your kids to stand on their own--and yourself to let them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is Meghan Moretti's morning, and where Erin Ampersand's rollicking, unputdownable LitRPG adventure series, Apocalypse Parenting, begins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15559953\"\u003eErin Ampersand\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250470171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 125047017X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC129000\"\u003eLitRPG (Literary Role-Playing Game)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC028070\"\u003eScience Fiction | Apocalyptic \u0026amp; Post-Apocalyptic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC045040\"\u003eFamily Life | Parenthood \u0026amp; Children\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErin Ampersand is from a minor branch of the Punctuation Peerage. Neither as elegant as the noble Parentheses, nor as respected as the heroic Dashes, the Ampersands are considered little better than the scurrilous Interrobangs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to books, Erin loves puzzles and games of all sorts, from tabletop RPGs to videogames, although she is rather bad at platformers and hopeless at first-person shooters. She owns enough board games to capsize a standard canoe.","brand":"Tor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50341144166637,"sku":"9781250470171","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/time-to-play-9781250470171","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
