Love the gaming part of this graphic novel and how Anda gets sucked into the online world. Love the girl power MMO scenes and how Anda is adopted into a guild.
But wasn't too thrilled with the China part. You'll see what I mean if you read it.
I'm just not a fan of feeling like I'm being force-fed.

Fast-paced, gorgeously illustrated and thought-provoking, Doctorow continues to skillfully connect virtual and physical realities with his fiction. Maybe I'm a little grumpy about how realistic civil disobedience and union organizing really is anymore, but this story presents a hopeful picture of how one caring person can make a difference, even from halfway around the globe.
This is a graphic Novel/Manga. Middle grade?
I enjoyed this book, I'd even read it again. Though, I was hoping for a little more than the internet is dangerous and you never know what anyone is going through. I'm also slightly confused by the mixture of lessons this book is meant to teach you. Don't talk to strangers on the internet, but it's okay if you are trying to help them. Many strangers take advantage of people trying to help them on the internet these days, I wasn't sure if the boy she was helping was going to turn out to be some old man asking for money or something. He was a gold farmer. Also, I'm confused on if this is meant to be child labor? the kids seem very young, but it's okay... as long as he gets health care? Am I missing something? I read this in 10 minutes, so it is possible.
The Illustration was very cute, I loved the video game world, the people she meet are very sketchy and don't seem like she should be friends with them. But, the story was cute.
Altogether, it was okay. Would I recommend this? No, probably not.

3.5/5 Stars. It was cute definitely nothing spectacular.
I loved this book. Not only does it have a very clear moral, but it also makes you question what you believe in. For a little while, I was unsure what the right thing to do was, but isn't that part of the point? The world is full of gray areas and it's only when we have a conversation that we realize what is wrong and what is right.
I loved this a lot. Everything about it is beautiful.

Dear In Real Life,
Being of the elder millennial persuasion, I’m not as savvy with video games and online worlds. I have 100% responded like the mom.
This hits you with “you fear things you don’t understand”. Bravo.
I came for the illustrator and left with a bit more understanding.

Cómo usar un video juego para hacer una revolución obrera y los obreros son jóvenes chinos que trabajan 13 horas controlando avatares en un juego de realidad virtual. Interesantes ideas de un experto en el tema.
