What's the Book About?
The story is all about a super cool new video game called Silicon Sphere. This game has amazing graphics that look real and sounds that make you feel like you're right there. But there's a big secret hidden inside it.
Players like Jack North, who loves games, get so lost in Silicon Sphere that it feels like they are actually inside the game world. Things get even stranger when parts of the game start showing up in the real world!
At first, Jack thinks he's just imagining things. But then, other players begin to disappear. Jack soon realizes that this is much more than just a game. By the time he understands the danger, it might be too late for him to escape.
