This is a very enjoyable story for kids in Kindergarten to fifth grade. It has cartoon drawings here and there to optimize visualization. The language is age appropriate, witty and fast moving. I like it because it is written in an easy English which will be a plus to help readers in a lower levels to read. The story is well developed and interesting for kids of that age.
Danny is a computer gamer and he is good at it. The only obstacles that keep him from more mature and fun games are his parents. He thinks, breaths and eats computer games 14that is until one day while he is ten-years-old when he decides that the games have become boring.
He is ready for the next level, but his mother always says he needs to stay with the safe ones. That has stopped him many times before but not today.
He is swallowed up by his computer and finds himself in a place where everything is computer games. Yes! He is now in heaven 26that is until the most ugly monster in that place threatens to eat him. Now, he not only has to play what he likes, but also win a real fight for his life. These terrors will continue until he figures out how to return safely back home to his family.
This book should relate quite well with kids that are in elementary school now. It addresses a theme that they know about and will have experienced many times in their own lives. It is clean and very enjoyable. It will make a great catch for any school or home library.
