WARCROSS, by Marie Lu

The story: When hacker Emika Chen is busted breaking into the world championships of the virtual reality game Warcross, instead of going to jail, she's invited to go to work for the company. She finds herself on one of the teams vying for the championship, but her real mission: figure out who's trying to sabotage the games and assassinate their young creator, Hideo Tanaka. Even though she's really, really good, there's now way she could anticipate all the twists and turns that the game--and life--are about to throw at her.

June Cleaver's ratings: Langauge PG-13; Violence PG-13; Sexual content PG-13; Nudity PG; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (technology addiction; sci-fi violence) PG; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: Whoa! It was good all along, but the twist at the end really kicked it up another notch. Hand it to anyone who enjoyed Brandon Sanderson's "Reckoners" series, or SJ Kincaid's "Insignia" novels. Sequel, anyone? (Me! Me!)
