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.

Critic reviews

"Hilarious characters...plus fantastical elements...will spur readers on toward the satisfying conclusion." ( Publishers Weekly)

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.
