Young Adult
Prepare to be cured by this quirky and hilarious debut novel
about a sixteen-year-old loner who is sent to rehab for
video game addiction—perfect for fans of Ned Vizzini and
Jesse Andrews. Sixteen-year-old Jaxon is being committed to video game
rehab…ten minutes after meeting a girl. A living, breathing
girl named Serena, who not only laughed at his jokes but
actually kinda sorta seemed excited when she agreed to go
out with him. Jaxon’s first date. Ever. In rehab, Jaxon can’t blast his way through galaxies to
reach her. He can’t slash through armies to kiss her sweet
lips. Instead, he has four days to earn one million points
by learning real-life skills. And he’ll do whatever it
takes—lie, cheat, steal, even learn how to cross-stitch—in
order to make it to his date. If all else fails, Jaxon will have to bare his soul to the
other teens in treatment, confront his mother’s absence, and
maybe admit that it’s more than video games that stand in
the way of a real connection. From a bright new voice in young adult literature comes the
story of a young man with a serious case of arrested
development—and carpal tunnel syndrome—who is about to
discover what real life is all about.
