Customer Reviews

Not Quite Haddix or Sleator

For those of you who like psychological children's books, this brings up some excellent points about reality and manipulation, as well as ethics and friendship. It is well-written, though not the best I've read, and I would recommend Margaret Haddix (Shadow Children series) or William Sleator (House of Stairs). The end does get slightly confusing, but it won't be a problem for a careful reader.

Virtual Reality

Two 14 year olds take on the job of trying out a virtual reality game that hasn't hit the market. Little do they know that another person on the other side is trying to defeat them! Filled with suspense, this book is a must read. I just finished reading it today and I really liked it.
