INSERT COIN TO CONTINUE, by John David Anderson

The story: Bryan just knows there's a secret level to the video game he just beat for the 20th time. But he has no idea that when he wakes up the next morning, HE'LL be in the middle of a virtual reality game that looks a lot like his own life--except that the guys throwing dodgeballs are out for blood, and the teachers who bust him in their lounge are zombies who'll kill him to get that Twinkie. Can Bryan use his skills to overcome the bad guys--and maybe even get a date with the girl he's crushed on forever?

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (bullying) PG; overall rating PG.

Liz's comments: I'm always looking for (1) funny stories, and (2) stories boys will like. This one is both! There are LOL moments even for middle-aged library ladies, and gamers especially will be drawn into the story even if they aren't great readers. This one is great for the MS library.
