The Net Warriors

Rating:
Summary: A fast pace tale to delight teens
Review: Net Warriors is a young adult book that should hold great appeal to teens. It deals with net and video games, so the foundation is a super start to attract their attention. It's an engaging tale about a man who designs a chip for digital entertainment centers. He is making changes in his video game "The Three Kings of Orr" - and boy does he make changes! It's a complex game and with the new chip, it suddenly becomes a virtual reality game, much to the surprise of Nic Granger. He just wanted to play the game, but the evil villain of the game called "the Deceiver" has plans of his own. Nic suddenly finds himself sucked into the game and in a struggle to save the world. Supporting Nic is his best friend "Frog", his younger sister Emily, the Knight Riddith and Princess Rhea - together they form the Net Warriors. There are other delightful characters to aid the Warriors in their quests, such as Bruce the Dragon - who has really bad Dragon breath! They are captures by the Hellriders, and wage a thrilling battle with the headless horsemen, as our Warriors try to find the Deceiver before he can find them, so they can put reality back in order.

It's fast paced and very imaginative and should be a big hit with teens! Lindsey Hall has a winning voice and is a super talent. For parents fearful your kids are spending too much time on the net and not reading, this is a great lure to get
them to pick up old-fashioned print!
