About the Book
Grace Pizzelli is the average one, nothing like her brilliant older sister, Emily, who works for Rasmussem, creators of the world’s best virtual reality games.
The games aren’t real, though—or at least they weren’t. Now Emily has hidden herself inside a pink and sparkly game meant for little girls.
No one knows why, or how to convince her to come back out, and the technology can’t keep her safe for much longer. Grace may consider herself average, but she’s the only one who can save Emily.
So Grace enters the game, hoping to talk her sister out of virtual suicide before time runs out. Otherwise Emily will die—for real.
- Sisters Fiction: One sister is brilliant, the other feels average. But when Emily gets lost inside a game, it’s up to Grace to stage a daring rescue.
- High-Stakes Adventure: This isn’t just a game. If the system fails or time runs out, Emily won’t just get a game over—she’ll die for real.
- Portal Fantasy World: Forget epic quests and dark dungeons. Grace must navigate a bizarrely cheerful world of unicorns, dragons, and princesses to save her sister from a very dark fate.
- LitRPG For Teens: Features a fully-realized role-playing game where Grace must learn the rules, face down treacherous sprites, and find her sister before the system crashes for good.
