Description
Curious about the device, Nilay unwittingly creates his own "video game" avatar that he names Vyper Neo, which causes him more stress than he could imagine. The little orange character has his own personality and gets Nilay and his father into all sorts of trouble. That's not all--the device itself belongs to a super-secret group of people who can summon similar video game avatars called Ghosts to battle over money, territory, and power.
Now that Nilay has it, he has officially become a "player" like them who can summon his own Ghost in Vyper Neo--and that's made other players very angry. Can this lackluster teenager survive long enough to learn where his mother is and why she sent this device? Vyper Neo and his only human buddy, Chess, have his back, but taking on this massive new world won't be easy. Like it or not, Nilay is going to have to play this game to win!
The Massively Multiplayer World of Ghosts is rated T for Teen, recommended for ages 13 and up.
