Ready Player One meets the action of battle

royale video games in this middle-grade sci-fi perfect for fans of

Fortnite.

To twelve-year-old Reyna Cheng, gaming is everything, so she’s

thrilled to have the opportunity to attend a gaming summer

camp courtesy of Dayhold - the world’s biggest VR battle

royale game.

Reyna is an up-and-coming junior amateur gamer but despite her

rising popularity and skills online, no one knows that behind her

male avatar is a twelve-year-old Chinese American girl. Gaming

is still a boys’ club and to protect her true identity against trolls

and their harassment, she plays as the mysterious TheRuiNar.

When Reyna qualifies for the Dayhold Junior Tournament, she knows

she’s got what it takes to win the championship title and the

$10,000 prize. It’s a chance to make a step forward towards her

professional esports dreams and to help her family with the costs

of her mother’s hospital bills.

But when she’s blackmailed and her identity is threatened to be

revealed by an anonymous troll, Reyna has to confront the toxic

gaming community head-on.

With her dreams and the cash prize on the line, it’s game on!

Gaming has never been more popular with the tournament in the

book reflecting real tournaments such as the Fortnite World Cup
