Izzy has an incredible secret -- she can enter the world of her new video game! She meets Rae, a robot who says Izzy is destined to save Dungeon City from the Big Boss. How is this possible?! And how can she fight for this virtual world when she's got a whole real life to keep up with: her family (though she could do without her mom's annoying cat), and her best friend, Eric. Things get even weirder when Izzy loses a life while in the game, and she starts to worry about what might happen if she gets a Game Over for good. Meanwhile, Eric has been VERY UPSET with Izzy since she's been keeping secrets and bailing on their plans. Can Izzy survive Dungeon City and save their friendship?

Meh. I wasn't a big fan of this one. The behavior of the characters didn't make sense to me. A teacher who lets a student sleep literally the entire school day? Parents who realize their daughter lies to them, but don't remove the door from her room to check on her AND still go away for a vacation? Not to mention Izzy who goes from having a BFF who seems to mean everything to her, to having no problem flat out ignoring her? She doesn't even make up excuses for why they can't hang out. She just says nothing to her. 

The timeline of the story also didn't make sense. Sometimes it seemed like time Izzy spent in Dungeon City was passing in real time. Another time she tells her parents she's going to the bathroom, but goes into the game. They don't seem bothered by the fact she lied to them about why she left their conversation about her behavior at school or for how long she locked herself in her room/disappeared into Dungeon City. They also make it seem like she was gone only a short period of time. 

An interesting premise, but the characters weren't likable or believe for me. Not a fan of this one.
