About this eBook

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?

Ratings and reviews

Its a good book,but I thought that it needed something else. Like more adventures. The story line went too fast,but overall the book was awesome!!:-)

I didn't read it on my tablet or something but i read it in my local school middle school library it was amazing! All the amazing and funny things i could ask for i was scared to think i wouldn't like it but if you like drama with cuss words and trending stuff choose this book 5 stars!!!

I read this book just so that I could get some reading points in school. Once I acutely read and got into the book I realised that Maddy and I are so similar. Like she's me and I'm her. This book is a CRAZY, GREAT, MUST READ book. If you don't I may cry.
