She meets Rae, a robot who says Izzy is destined to save Dungeon City from the Big Boss. How is this possible?! And how can she fight for this virtual world when she&#8217;s got a whole real life to keep up with: her family (though she could do without her mom&#8217;s annoying cat), and her best friend, Eric. Things get even weirder when Izzy loses a life while inside the game, and she starts to worry about what might happen if she gets a Game Over for good. Meanwhile, Eric has been super upset with Izzy since she&#8217;s been keeping secrets and bailing on their plans. Can Izzy survive Dungeon City and save their friendship?<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>Brilliantly written and illustrated. All of my older kids love video games and this book is right up their alley. I&#8217;ve read a few books that have a similar premise, but not a graphic novel like this. I really enjoyed being drawn into the author and the writers created world. <\/p>\n<p>There is so much that I can say about this book. The main thing is that it is spot on about how my children like to act when they get overly involved in playing a video game. However, in their case it doesn&#8217;t matter if it is new or not. <\/p>\n<p>Izzy and her friend Eric have been waiting for the release of a new game called Dungeon City. Izzy promises her friend Eric that she isn&#8217;t going to play the game until the weekend. She isn&#8217;t able to keep the promise. She ends with more issues then she bargained for once she starts playing the video game. <\/p>\n<p>This book is great for any child that loves video games. It is also a great book that I think even the most reluctant of readers will be able to enjoy. I have come to love graphic novels almost as much as my older children and I cannot wait to start introducing them to the babies when they are old enough! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 From comics rising star Sarah Graley, a fresh and funny middle-grade graphic novel featuring a girl who must save a virtual world&#8230; and her own!
