<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>Most gamers would love being stuck in the Dream State--a virtual world full of thrilling quests, perilous dungeons, and wicked monsters--but for Noah, it's the most dangerous place he could be. Perfect for fans of video games and adventure alike, <i>Stuck in the Game</i> will keep you logged in until the very end!</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Noah promised himself he would never play the world's most popular MMORPG--the Dream State. He'd already lost too many friends to the addictive virtual world. <br> But after a devastating car crash leaves Noah paralyzed, he's forced inside the game. The Dream State not only provides a connection with the outside world but also keeps his brain awake long enough for his body to heal. Dying in the game, however, could send Noah into a coma forever. To stay safe, he must remain in the lower levels, far away from the most dangerous monsters and players. <br> Meanwhile, doctors grow concerned when Noah's girlfriend, Sue--who also sustained serious injuries in the crash--seemingly fails to connect to the game. When a mysterious avatar suggests to Noah that the last remnants of Sue's consciousness are being held prisoner in the highest level, Noah decides to risk everything to save her. <br> Leaving the safety of the lower levels, Noah rises through the ranks and enters the most dangerous part of the game, allying with high-level players and unearthing clues to a sinister plot along the way. Now top players from across the world are hunting him. <br> With his life on the line, can Noah save Sue and uncover the mystery? <br> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An interesting new take on a classic concept and one of the few young adult-friendly LitRPGs out there.
