What do you do when your boring real life . . . doesn’t live up to your amazing virtual reality?

“Mancusi believably captures the hopes, disappointments, and awkwardness of high school life.”—Booklist

Meet Allora: beautiful elfin princess with magical powers—aka Maddy. In real life, Maddy’s existence is all but magical. Her parents split and now she’s stuck in a small town at a new school. Sometimes it’s enough to retreat into her manga art, but when she gets the Fields of Fantasy online computer game for her birthday, she knows she’s found the one place she can be herself.

In the game world, Maddy can have a perfect life. But is it enough to escape her real-life problems, or will she find a way to make her real world just as amazing as her virtual one?
