Description



About the Book



After Maddy's parents divorce, she starts over at a new high school. Friendless and nicknamed Freak Girl, Maddy finds refuge in the interactive online game Fields of Fantasy. This fresh novel includes online chats and features Maddy's manga-style artwork.



Book Synopsis



Maddy's life couldn't get much worse. Her parents split and now she's stuck in a small town and at a new school. Most of the time, she retreats into her manga art, but when she gets into the Fields of Fantasy online computer game, she knows she's found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can be the beautiful and magical Allora and have a virtually perfect life. And she even finds a little romance. But can Maddy escape her real-life problems altogether, or will she have to find a way to make her real world just as amazing as her virtual one?

About the Author



Mari Mancusi used to wish she could become a vampire back in high school. But she ended up in another blood sucking profession--journalism--instead. Today she works as a television news producer for the NBC station in Boston and has won two Emmys for her work. As if writing and TV producing weren't enough to keep her busy, Mari also enjoys snowboarding, clubbing, shopping, 80s music, and her favorite guilty pleasure--video games. She lives in the Boston area with her husband and two dogs.
