Maddy's life couldn't get much worse. Her parents split and now she's stuck in a small town and at a new school. Most of the time, she retreats into her manga art, but when she gets into the Fields of Fantasy online computer game, she knows she's found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can be the beautiful and magical Allora and have a virtually perfect life. And she even finds a little romance. But can Maddy escape her real-life problems altogether, or will she have to find a way to make her real world just as amazing as her virtual one?

"This book made me who I am today. After reading it when I was 11, I went out and bought my first manga ever and it just manifested from there. It’s the most cliche “I’m not like other girls” Otaku trope, but god was it hard to put down. I reread it recently for the nostalgia factor and I finished it in one sitting. It includes an unironic Chad, and the most despicable quote, “I entered my room, shut my door, and turned up my stereo, blasting My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade album.” I definitely recommend experiencing this masterpiece.
