The story: If Josh Baxter's life was a video game, he'd be dead. No more lives, no more health points, no new skills unlocked. It's his third new school in two years, he has zero friends, his grades are terrible, and there's a bully looking to kill him. But--when Josh goes into hero mode, it seems there might be more to him than meets the eye! Can he level up in time to avoid obliteration?
June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG (a fist fight); Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (death of a parent; grief; bullying; general adult cluelessness) PG-13; overall rating PG.
Liz's comments: A really fun read! Hand this to anyone, boy or girl, who likes video games. Occasionally the not-so-subtle points about getting your homework done and working on your weaknesses get slightly preachy, but that's in no way a spoiler.
