Great book with great lessons I want all my kids to learn.
Format: Hardcover
A fun book about kids going to āvirtualā school during the pandemic, but like, the coolest virtual school Iāve ever heard of. They use VR headsets to attend from the comfort and safety of their own home, and because itās a digital world, they have the opportunity to re-invent themselves with customizable avatars. Some go as themselves, some simplify, and some go all-out for reasons that come out as the story progresses. As three students learn to navigate a new school, new friends, and new challenges they learn life lessons that I wish I could drill in to my budding teenagers.
This was a fun, quick story that Iām enjoying reading to my middle grade children. I finished it on my own after bedtime because I couldnāt put it down. My eyes may have leaked a few times, but knowing Chad and Shellyās other wonderful books, it didnāt surprise me in the least that I was so moved.
4.5 stars because some of the VR descriptions donāt mesh with real life VR capabilities (i.e. the motion sickness that would have plagued every kid the way the games/classes were described), but bonus points for the imagination and creativity in creating the school we all wish we could have attended. (If we couldnāt get in to Cragbridge that isā¦) ššš»
Thanks for another great book that Iām eager to put into my kids hands.
