Overview

Lynn Raven may be the boss master of WarMonger 2050 with her online persona of "Larry the Snake," but when the CEO of Tsunami Entertainment personally asks her, as a favor, to beta test a new augmented reality game, she has to face her greatest fear: going outside and dealing with . . . well, people.As she becomes more immersed in the game, the stakes rise and so do the obstacles. Strife between teammates, a ruthless rival team, and these strange glitches that make it seem like the game algorithm (or maybe "game AI"?) has it in for her. Now she has to face a new fear: is she willing to step into the real to win the future she's always wanted?What do you do when a game and real life merge? About Into the Real:"I found myself enjoying the story and Raven's relationship with the AI that's her guide in the game, and I was invested throughout. It wasn't so much a coming-of-age story as a growing into and appreciating one's own skin...  I'm really looking forward to how things will play out from here."--The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction"Ringo and Sherrer have created a modern day Ender's Game using the technology of Pokemon Go... The characters are vivid and interesting, and the action is strong enough to carry you along."--Upstream Reviews"The futuristic world of the gamers and the game itself will interest sf readers. . . . Teens will relate to Lynn, the main character, and if they are gamers, they will enjoy her gamer and VR adventures." --BooklistAbout Lydia Sherrer:"Lydia writes with wit and charm--snappy dialogue and a warmth that makes the unreal feel familiar and close to hand.
