A great book that's got plenty of twists and turns. It's unsettling in a 'this maybe could happen' kind of way. It's also clever, interesting and pacy. The twist at the end is great and left me wanting more!

I really enjoyed the concept of this book. The puzzles and world building were particularly clever and it had me hooked right until the end. Reading this as a primary school teacher, I can imagine this captivating many 10-11 year olds. The idea of being inside a ‘real’ video game is something I know would have been very appealing to read when I was that age. A great book! I look forward to any further stories in the future!

Eden is great at solving escape rooms. They've done liars recently, in real places with their friends,and online. When her online pal Ami sends her a series of clues,Eden finds herself in a real escape room world.

She encounters Ted and without really working together,they solve the whole thing between them. But Ted believes that Eden is simply a non playing character in the game...is he right? Is Eden not really there?

Really engaging middle grade fiction. Very easy to get caught up in and not notice the time.

I was over the moon when this arrived and I’ve proper raced through it today! Loved being back in this world of quests, puzzles and thrills. Eden is so brave and so smart. I really enjoyed all of the chat about humanity and the beauty of our word. Christopher Edge is just brilliant!

Woah, what did I just read?! I was swept up into a confusing reality with Eden as she navigates a game of mystery, puzzles and dangerous adventure. It was a great central plot and certainly an intriguing one even if I was a little confused as to what was going on and what was going to happen!

It was Jumanji-esque, with the lines between the real world and game blurred. For Eden, this ‘fake’ game play world has real consequences and she certainly didn’t want to find out what would happen if she lost a life in the game. And with Terra’s chasing her in every level, she has a lot to contend with.

It was an enjoyable quick read and one I pretty much read in one sitting. It’s perfect for its age demographic and I think everyone has wondered what it would be like to live in a computer game. It brings this thought to life and I enjoyed seeing how Eden was going to solve the mystery and get back to the real world. Fun book all in all!
