Maradonia and the Seven Bridges

Maradonia and the Seven Bridges is a young-adult fantasy novel and the first book of the Maradonia Saga series. It is written and self-published (though the publisher is listed as Liberty's Book Press) by author Gloria Tesch. This book, along with its series, has earned a cult reputation for being terrible in nearly every possible way.

Summary
Maya and her younger brother Joey discovered a mysterious place in a "Government Owned Property" which lead them to a World between Worlds known as Maradonia. Upon Maya and Joey's arrival, a prophecy is fulfilled, whereby they have to try and change the future of Maradonia.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) An unoriginal, yet predictable story that outright plagiarize other books, even the Holy Bible. In fact, the whole concept of the book is a clear rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia.
 * 2) Uncharismatic characterization.
 * 3) The pacing and tone is inconsistent.
 * 4) Plot holes and sub-plots go out of nowhere.
 * 5) The main characters, Maya and Joey, are idiotic, selfish sociopaths that made villains like Apollyon (who runs a "Club of Evil" that believes in teamwork, has a water park, and likes to sing "Mother Earth songs") look much more likeable and good-natured. Joey is the more insufferable of the two and frequently spouts "wisdom" that contains glaring logic issues and performs pointless acts of cruelty. Even so they are still deemed heroic.
 * 6) Despite being marketed to young children, the book contains swear words and depictions of graphic violence.
 * 7) Many words are randomly CAPITALIZED,  italicized , bold, or have unnecessary "quotation marks".
 * 8) The book contains numerous spelling errors and grammatically incorrect sentences as well as redundant or repetitive sentences.
 * 9) Very weak and awkward descriptions; the antagonistic empire is literally called "Evil Empire" and one of the villains is described as "tall and evil". Also, Alana is described as being part of a "Gothic Movement," which automatically makes her evil by the story's standards.
 * 10) This "official book trailer" is so bad that even some members of Team Tesch couldn't take it.
 * 11) The cover art, done by Gloria's mother, is simply an eyesore and ugly to look at.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The horrible writing can be unintentionally funny and entertaining.
