Virtual Magick - Paperback

by A. S. Templeton (Author)

Girl-boy tween twins Claire and Casey Steele are thankful not to suffer from ceaseless conflict and sibling rivalry. Lately, however, they have developed an unhealthy fascination with electronic gaming-the more intense and mayhem-filled, the better.

So when the prototype of what seems to be a super-advanced VR game console mysteriously arrives on their doorstep, Casey and Claire conspire to immerse themselves in a fantasy action-adventure game called Quest for the Shining Realm.

Thing is, Claire and Casey do not even remotely suspect that the Quest might prove to be no ordinary game...

Or maybe, just maybe, not a game at all.

Virtual Magic is a magical realism / sci-fi crossover from that wondrous realm between MG and YA known as The Tween Valley. Amid vivid action-adventure, readers shall witness an ordinary family struggle with the downsides of electronic games, deal with the somber realities of a soldier mom returned from deployment, and discover just in time that imagination is the most powerful magick of all.
