So over the last few months kids keep coming into my library asking if we have any books about this thing FORTNITE.
We don’t and I’d never heard of it so I tried asking what it was.
Is it a film? No. A cartoon? No. An game, like Pokemon or something? Yeah kinda. Nobody could tell me what all the fuss was about.
Then today a man came in to borrow some Lee Child books and he had his son with him. It said [#Fortnite] on his T-shirt.
While his Dad looked through our Lee Child books (he was a huge Jack Reacher fan so he was re-reading the series) I asked the boy to explain Fortnite to me.
And he did. He told me all about it. He taught me what nobody else had been able to teach me. And now I know two things.
Firstly, I know now that Fortnite is an online video game that was created in 2017 and already has more than 125 million players worldwide. Apparently it’s very addictive.
And secondly I learned that…
The only boy who could ever teach me, was the son of a Reacher fan.
