Virtual reality school!
Format: Hardcover
This book explores the idea of an online school that looks and feels like a regular school but is attended from your own home while wearing a VR headset. The reader experiences it through the eyes of five very different kids: Bradley Horvath is full of personality but has always been picked on or ignored because he is overweight. Until he changes the appearance of his avatar and goes by Daebak nobody knows that he loves K-pop, dancing, and is fun to be around. I loved getting to know Bradley and liked him from the first page. Edelsabeth/Edelle Dahan-Miller has the opposite situation as Bradley. She is beautiful and popular, so nobody sees her for who she is inside. Her mom requires her avatar to be plain so she will learn to focus on other people and not just on looking cute. She is embarrassed and doesn’t want anyone to know it’s her so she changes her name to Vanya. Hunter Athanasopoulos plays lacrosse and loves to be the center of attention but doesn’t want kids to find out he now has bald spots from alopecia. He doesn’t want to be judged by his hair loss even though he judges everyone else based on their appearance and is only kind to people who are beautiful and popular. Jasper is known for the yellow tracksuit he wears. He is kind, a peacemaker, and brings people together. He likes soccer and video games but attends virtual school for health reasons. Keiko is the least developed character, but I would like to know more about her. She is moody, doesn’t talk much or show emotion, and is good at art. I enjoyed reading this book. It pulls the reader in and keeps you there with fun descriptions. The kids trade off telling the story with each chapter in a chatty conversational way, so it never gets tedious or boring. It has a feel-good happy ending and teaches kids lessons along the way like what being a true friend means and seeing the people around you for who they are. 5 big stars! Thanks to Shadow Mountain Publishing for an ARC to use for my review.

Great read!!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
What an incredible story. I enjoyed this even more than I thought would. Such a different story, but highly relatable in so many ways for kids. The pandemic was rough on everyone, especially since school went from being a fun place where you could hang out with your friends to a bunch of heads in small rectangles all trying to talk at once. For Bradley, Edelle, Hunter, Jasper, and Keiko, that’s about to change. A mysterious box arrives at each of their houses, and they’re invited to attend a virtual school. More than just being online, they’ll be able to create an avatar of themselves and interact with their friends and other classmates in real time using VR headsets. For each of them, that presents an opportunity to become someone they’re not, or someone they haven’t been. For Bradley, it’s a chance to come out of a self-imposed shell. Edelle hopes everyone will see her for who she really is, not just for how she looks. Hunter is looking forward to pretending he’s still the person he was last year. Jasper wants to get over past assumptions. And for Keiko, it’ll allow her to disappear into the crowd. For all of them, it’s a chance to see just how much they’ve assumed about each other in the past and maybe an opportunity to become friends. I really enjoyed the chapters alternating POV, & getting to know each kid, & their reasons for going to virtual school, & even their reasons behind hiding their identity-for those who chose to. Phenomenal character growth in this with these characters. They learned so much about, not only others, but about themselves through this experience. About true friendship, what's really important, how others see us by our actions, & so much more. Many lessons learned for sure. Everything about the virtual school was intriguing to me, & I loved all the detail the authors put into it. Edelle & Bradley are my favorites in this, & loved both their stories so much. Highly recommend. This is out now! Beautiful cover by Garth Bruner too.💜

Entertaining while teaching valuable lessons.
Format: Hardcover
Virtually Me By Chad Morris and Shelly Brown This school year will be different than any they have ever experienced before. With a pandemic changing everything, a new VR school is how Bradley, Edelle, and Hunter will experience the upcoming school year. Seeing this as a chance to reset their lives could make this the best year for some, while others see this as a significant setback to their entire existence. Bradley decides to make his avatar everything he isn't. He hopes to make friends and escape the public perception of who he is. And taking on a new persona is just how he plans to do this. Edelle is in VR school because her mother doesn't like who she has become. Popularity was Edelle's goal, which affected her in ways she hadn't even realized. All Edelle wants is to get back to the life she had. And she refuses to let anyone know who she is in this new school since her mom insists that her avatar not be fashion heavy. Hunter has a secret and doesn't want anyone to know about it. Attending this school is the perfect way to keep everyone in the dark. Now he just has to make sure he is the star that he was before. The virtual reality portion of the book is interesting as it provides a chance for the various characters to change something about themselves. I can't say whether this was a realistic portrayal as I'm not familiar with VR personally, but I liked how this was the catalyst that allowed the main characters to change. Before appearance was the driving factor in who was considered worthy of friendship or notice. This actually proved to be an equalizer in some respects. I highly recommend this book to middle-grade readers. It is an eye-opening experience. It entertains while sharing an important message about accepting a person for who they are as a whole and not because of outward appearance, athletic abilities, or other skills. Everyone is more than they appear at first. In this age of social media, I think this book is a must-read. As someone who was judged on the clothes I wore and even bullied in school, I applaud the authors on a well-delivered message. Sometimes we need to get in someone else's head to truly understand how they see a situation. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Life lessons wrapped in an engaging story
Format: Hardcover
Title: Virtually Me Author: Chad Morris, Shelly Brown Genre: Middle Grade, Contemporary My Rating: 5 ⭐ "The pandemic was rough on everyone, especially since school went from being a fun place where you could hang out with your friends to a bunch of heads in small rectangles all trying to talk at once. For Bradley, Edelle, Hunter, Jasper, and Keiko, that’s about to change." Virtually Me is told from the alternating viewpoints of three teenagers; Edelle, Bradley and Hunter. The teens are returning to school after the pandemic and each has chosen to attend VR school rather than in person school. Though they have different reasons for attending a virtual school, their decision has something to do with how each of them views their outward appearance. Bradley was uncomfortable with the way he looked and wanted to get away from the bullies at school. Edelle's mom forced her to attend because she wanted to distance her from the peer pressure to look a certain way. Hunter decided to attend virtual school because he had developed alopecia and he was uncomfortable with the way he looked. This middle grade read shows the topics of bullying, peer pressure, and social anxieties from a teens POV. While VR school is definitely cooler than Zoom classes it is very relatable to any young person who attended school during the pandemic. As the students experience the fun of VR games and dances they also find themselves struggling to figure out who they are, how to fit in, and how to be a friend. Each learns a much needed lesson that all teens today can benefit from! This book is well written, the characters are fun and relatable, most importantly, the plot contains valuable life lessons wrapped up in a fun and exciting story that young readers will gravitate towards. I highly recommend this for every middle grade reader in your life! I received an ARC of this book from Shadow Mountain Publishing. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Engaging Characters and Compelling World Building
Format: Kindle
I loved not only Lena and Lucia’s chemistry but loved the Rynari, Crystal Elves and other creative characters and species that makeup this world. I would read an entire series based in this world and think a series with Lucia and Lena in the center of it about the characters and adventures they come across while running the in would be great!
