About This Book
LOSE THE GAME, LOSE YOUR LIFE
In the virtual reality game Heir Apparent, there are way too many ways to get killed—and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Unless she can
get the magic ring,
find the stolen treasure,
answer the dwarf's dumb riddles,
impress the head-chopping statue,
charm the army of ghosts,
fend off the barbarians,
and defeat the man-eating dragon,
she'll never win. And if she doesn't win, she will die —for real this time.
