Editorial Reviews
"It is all extremely entertaining with its mystery, excellent humour and technical wizardry. I found it hard to put down and would recommend it for teenagers, especially girls, who like a bit of adventure and mystery with their romance. It is the work experience we all wish we had!" - Jane Crew, Magpies
"A fast-paced novel that will have you guessing until the end. Nansi Kunze writes humour and suspense so effortlessly that you cannot walk away from the book without picking it up again. It's a thrilling read that will entertain even the pickiest of readers as Kunze mixes the whodunit with wit and a hint of romance." - Daniela Perinac, www.readings.com.au
"The story is full of action as well as being about friendships, trust and looking after each other. The author knows teenagers very well as the language flows, and will resonate with her audience. Kunze also manages to create wonderful visual images with her choice of words so that the virtual world becomes real and vibrant - and, as Alex finds out, too vibrant!" - Jane Campbell, Reading Time
"A seriously fun, fast-paced, thrilling read ... It's a wonderful book. A five star book." - Kate Gordon, kategordon.com.au/blog/
"Complex but still entertaining, Nansi Kunze takes an old-fashioned plot and plugs it into a mainframe where Nancy Drew meets THE MATRIX, with entertaining results." - Frances Atkinson, The Age
