This book is about four teenage friends who live in San Francisco, California. Every once and a while, the four friends meet up to play an online video game. In the game you have to complete a series of challenges and tasks, it also includes some real life tasks. So far in the book two of the four friends have gotten out of school to meet with their two other friends and complete one of the games real life tasks.

I like action and adventure and suspenseful books. I chose this book because by reading the summary of the book, it seemed like it had both of these features. I chose this quote because it was sort of humorous and it was similiar to how I think of books.
