I REALLY REALLY LOVED this book!
Fun, creative storyline told so well you will stay up way past your bedtime reading it!
I LOVED all the inventions:
History class: you “watch” what really happened.
English: a student sits in a ‘chair’ and while reading the other students ‘see’ the story.
Gym: you get to literally run up a virtual mountain.
Zoology: you become an avatar of the animal you are studying.
And the challenges Abby and Derrick have to go through to save their parents and grandfather…just wait until you read all about that…SO GOOD!
I REALLY HOPE they make a movie out of this book 🙂
