Reach for this book when your middle schooler is seeking a high-octane escape that mirrors the intensity of their favorite video games while exploring deeper themes of parental bonds and moral responsibility. The story follows fourteen year old Adam Adlar, who is thrust into a dangerous conspiracy after his father disappears. Armed with cutting edge virtual reality technology, Adam discovers he is being hunted by a genetically enhanced Tyrannosaurus Rex that can teleport. While the premise is fantastical, the heart of the story deals with a son's loyalty and the courage required to face overwhelming odds. It is an ideal pick for reluctant readers who crave cinematic action but would benefit from a protagonist who prioritizes integrity over power.
