When I first saw this series I could not believe that the entire series was free! (At the time of my reading) So I downloaded all books and started with this first book.Two teens, Phoenix and Jade struggle in their family life and are stoked to dive into an unreleased new MMORPG fantasy game. As they play they discover that they are stuck! To their surprise and to Phoenix's chagrin any damage their avatar receives damages them. This pleases Phoenix who has always dreamed of doing this for real but Jade who understands that they could die (both digitally and physically) isn't too happy about the situation. Especially since they only have 7 lives!!! They discover that they have to beat 5 levels and the big bad evil sorcerer at the last level to leave the game and save their world from destruction. They struggle to understand what it is they have to do and make some good friends along the way which aid them in their journey. Can they do it?!Such a pleasure to read even as an adult and I believe youth will find this book to be easy to read and enjoyable. No language or any other distasteful stuff (in game people do die). I would recommend this book to my own little cousins. This book and series is well worth the read. Please enjoy!
