Synopsis

Lissa is obsessed with Ancestral, the latest and greatest battle arena co-op game out there—and she's really good at it. If she wants to get to the top, she will have to band together with her best friend Ji-Soo—and their friends Ray, Zio, Jae-Jin, and Lucas—to become Team Phoenix. With the support of former pro Esport-player, Devon, Team Phoenix trains day and night for the upcoming Regional Championships.

But the road to victory has its twists and turns: Lissa is haunted by the loss of her brother, Ji-Soo's got a crush on Jae-Jin, and they're up against the number one team in the region, Mastermind, a group of frat boys who aren't afraid to play dirty. The odds feel stacked against them, but Team Phoenix is determined to rise from the ashes.

Goodreads review by Cayce on December 16, 2022

An engaging exploration of friendships, fandom, and the emotional struggles of being a young adult. I was reminded a bit of Ready Player One as I read this, also being heavy on the gaming but not at the expense of the characters, who were complex and easy to root for. This book pulls you into the wo......more

Goodreads review by TQ on February 05, 2023

This is such a sweet, refreshing story. Bennett’s characters are charming and just complex enough for a YA novel. They have personal challenges that they learn to work through by working together to become expert gamers, trounce some bullies, and find themselves in the process. While reading this boo......more
