About this listen

 In the virtual reality game Heir Apparent, there are way too many ways to get killed, and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Which is a darn shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she'll never win.

And she has to, because losing means she'll die, for real this time.

I first reas this book as a young teen, and revisiting it was like catching up with an old friend – it still had the charm and draw. This book gives Groundhog Day, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and Ready Player One…

The narrator was a pleasant surprise. I was worried her voice would be too grown-up for the young protagonist, but she pulled it off like a pro. By chapter two, I was fully invested, and her voice perfectly blended with the story.
