Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde

5.0

Heir Apparent is one of my favourite middle grade books. Rereading it more than 10 years later, it's every bit as good as I remember. It doesn't have the most original premise-- getting stuck in a high stakes virtual reality game --but Giannine's narrative voice makes it special. I love her dry, sarcastic take and all the puzzle-solving.

Pairs well with Hexwood by Dianna Wynne Jones.
