(2) 4-6 When a virtual reality arcade is vandalized, fourteen-year-old Giannine, unable to be safely disconnected from her game, is stuck playing the part of heir to a threatened kingdom as if her life depends on it--and it does. Supported by an intriguing premise, a virtual-medieval setting, and vividly evoked characters, the novel's strength lies in tenacious Giannine's witty and sarcastic first-person narration, which keeps the lengthy story moving.
