In this hilarious, coming-of-age novel that's "Ready Player One for
the middle grade crowd" (School Library Journal), twelve-year-old
Bryan Biggins wakes up to find that his life has become a video
game. Meet Bryan Biggins. Most of the time he's a freckle-faced
boy, small for his age, who attends a school known for its
unwritten uniform of North Face jackets and Hollister jeans. The
rest of the time he is Kieran Nightstalker, the level-fifty
dark-elf hero of his favorite video game, Sovereign of Darkness.
Until one day Bryan wakes up to find out his life has become a
video game. Sort of. Except instead of fighting dragons or blasting
bad guys, he's still doing geometry and getting picked last for
dodgeball. It's still middle school. Only now there's much more at
stake. Stealing the Twinkie from underneath the noses of those
dieting teachers isn't enough to earn him another life. And
battling the creature that escaped from the science lab doesn't
seem to cut it either. And who knew Romeo and Juliet would turn
into a zombie bloodbath?! All the while he's losing hit points and
gaining levels, and facing the truth that GAME OVER might flash
before his eyes at any minute. It all seems to be building to
something...something that has been haunting Bryan since way before
his life turned into an X-Box nightmare, a challenge that only he
can face. Will Bryan find a way to beat the game before it's too
late?
