Erebos / Ursula Poznanski

Watch the book trailer!

If you like computer games, you're going to like this book. There's a new game going round the school, and it's being given out secretly. Once you start playing it's almost impossible not to get addicted to it. The catch is that to keep playing, the game directs you to do certain things in the real world, and sometimes those things are dangerous and even downright illegal. Nick, Emily and Victor race against time to prevent a murder being committed. This book is intriguing, absorbing and very thought-provoking: it left me wondering if it really could be possible for games to manipulate real life.

Who would enjoy this book? If you've ever wondered about the effect of computer games on real-life, or if you just like an interesting and intriguing story line, this should meet your need!
