Heir Apparent
Overview & Summary
Fourteen-year-old Giannine enters a total-immersion virtual reality game called Heir Apparent to compete for a fictional kingdom's throne, but when protesters damage the arcade's equipment mid-game, she becomes trapped inside -- and losing the game for real will now mean dying for real. Vivian Vande Velde's novel blends medieval fantasy adventure with a clever science fiction premise about the stakes of a game gone wrong.
