After Maddy's parents divorce, she's stuck starting over at a new high school. Friendless and nicknamed Freak Girl, Manga-loving artist Maddy finds refuge in the interactive online game Fields of Fantasy. In that virtual world, she reinvents herself as Allora, a gorgeous elfin alter ego, and meets a true friend in Sir Leo. Maddy can't hide behind Allora forever, especially as a real-life crush begins edging in on her budding virtual romance. But would anyone pick the real Maddy, gamer girl and Manga freak, over the fantasy?

I didn't like this book. The plot was way too predictable (she ends up with Chad, which we knew would happen the moment she first meets him, even though he is a "Hater". And it isn't hard to figure out who Sir Leo is...), and the main character was annoying. She cared too much about clothes (she has a problem with people not wearing goth clothes; according to her, everyone who wears Abercrombie is a zombie, this may be true in many cases, but come on, let's try to be a bit more open minded?This book is so amazing. I can relate myself to this charcter. When I first started reading it, I was like, wow this so amazing. Maddy watches animes. I watch and draw pictures to. I like this book because it also inspires people not to give up and to take a stand for what you belive in. I also like how Maddy used the game to escape from her real world where Maddy met nicer people than at her school. When Maddy made her manga club, more people came then she expected. I felt sorry when the bully
Maddys life couldnt get much worse. Her parents split and now shes stuck in a small town and at a new school. Most of the time, she retreats into her manga art, but when she gets into the Fields of Fantasy online computer game, she knows shes found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can be the beautiful and magical Allora and have a virtually perfect life. And she even finds a little romance. But can Maddy escape her real-life problems altogether, or will she have to find
I loved this sooo much! It gave me so much nostalgia. This is about girl having a really rough time at school and then her dad gives her an online videogame for her birthday. She meets someone to quest with in there and it takes off from there. I met my husband in a mmorpg, Everquest 2. This brought me back to then. The author was authentic to the mmo experience down to fetch quests and dying in awkward places. There is also a mention on anime and manga in there like full metal alchemist and
You can read my full review by clicking here!Have you ever read a unique book where no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to find anything like it? Gamer Girl would have to be one of those types of books. There's nothing really special in wording that Mari Mancusi uses. But somehow, the plot draws me in. It's different, to say the least.I read Gamer Girl about three years ago, and at that time, I was a seventh grader. The cover drew me in(I always judge the cover) and when I finished the
I read this book once upon a time, back when I was young and naive. I really communicated with the main character back then, now so long ago. Now that I have returned to the book with all the things I have learned and experienced, to be very frank, this book sucks.The cover is cute, and the chapters begin with cute emoticons of the mc. That's cute. However...the plot is too predictable, the main character annoys me deeply (she also contradicts herself at select parts), and it is just one long
Gabby WatsonBook Review 211/2/11Gamer Girl:A Twist on Reality Life sucks. Well at least Maddy Starr thinks it does. But you cant blame her: her parents just got divorced and because of that, Maddy, her sister, and her mom are stuck living in her grandmas unicorn museum. Shes getting mercilessly bullied by Billy Henderson and the Haters, and it doesnt help that shes in love with Billys right hand man. Things start to look up on Maddys 16th birthday. Her dad sends her a computer game called Fields
