Phantom of the Heart — Tammy M. Yourzek

In this, the concluding volume of the Reality Twist Series, Katy Martin ventures one last time into the diabolical video game that has caused her and her family so much heartbreak in the past. The reason for her third journey? Her brother Alex and her best friend Jessie have turned into automatons, their souls, or specters, still trapped inside the game! Katy must track down the specters and return them to their proper owners, which will effectively shut down the game. But in order to accomplish her mission, she'll first have to get past a horde of specters determined to stay in the game. The horde chases Katy and her friends through car racing, snowboarding and desert chase scenarios as the teens prepare for a final showdown with Grevnon, the evil genius of the game. Great adventure and suspense for tweens and teens, featuring sympathetic characters with realistic emotions.
