Entertaining while teaching valuable lessons.
Format: Hardcover
Virtually Me
By Chad Morris
and Shelly Brown
This school year will be different than any they have ever experienced before. With a pandemic changing everything, a new VR school is how Bradley, Edelle, and Hunter will experience the upcoming school year.
Seeing this as a chance to reset their lives could make this the best year for some, while others see this as a significant setback to their entire existence.
Bradley decides to make his avatar everything he isn't. He hopes to make friends and escape the public perception of who he is. And taking on a new persona is just how he plans to do this.
Edelle is in VR school because her mother doesn't like who she has become. Popularity was Edelle's goal, which affected her in ways she hadn't even realized. All Edelle wants is to get back to the life she had. And she refuses to let anyone know who she is in this new school since her mom insists that her avatar not be fashion heavy.
Hunter has a secret and doesn't want anyone to know about it. Attending this school is the perfect way to keep everyone in the dark. Now he just has to make sure he is the star that he was before.
The virtual reality portion of the book is interesting as it provides a chance for the various characters to change something about themselves. I can't say whether this was a realistic portrayal as I'm not familiar with VR personally, but I liked how this was the catalyst that allowed the main characters to change. Before appearance was the driving factor in who was considered worthy of friendship or notice. This actually proved to be an equalizer in some respects.
I highly recommend this book to middle-grade readers. It is an eye-opening experience. It entertains while sharing an important message about accepting a person for who they are as a whole and not because of outward appearance, athletic abilities, or other skills. Everyone is more than they appear at first. In this age of social media, I think this book is a must-read. As someone who was judged on the clothes I wore and even bullied in school, I applaud the authors on a well-delivered message. Sometimes we need to get in someone else's head to truly understand how they see a situation.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Life lessons wrapped in an engaging story
Format: Hardcover
Title: Virtually Me
Author: Chad Morris, Shelly Brown
Genre: Middle Grade, Contemporary
My Rating: 5 ⭐
"The pandemic was rough on everyone, especially since school went from being a fun place where you could hang out with your friends to a bunch of heads in small rectangles all trying to talk at once. For Bradley, Edelle, Hunter, Jasper, and Keiko, that’s about to change."
Virtually Me is told from the alternating viewpoints of three teenagers; Edelle, Bradley and Hunter. The teens are returning to school after the pandemic and each has chosen to attend VR school rather than in person school. Though they have different reasons for attending a virtual school, their decision has something to do with how each of them views their outward appearance. Bradley was uncomfortable with the way he looked and wanted to get away from the bullies at school. Edelle's mom forced her to attend because she wanted to distance her from the peer pressure to look a certain way. Hunter decided to attend virtual school because he had developed alopecia and he was uncomfortable with the way he looked.
This middle grade read shows the topics of bullying, peer pressure, and social anxieties from a teens POV. While VR school is definitely cooler than Zoom classes it is very relatable to any young person who attended school during the pandemic.
As the students experience the fun of VR games and dances they also find themselves struggling to figure out who they are, how to fit in, and how to be a friend. Each learns a much needed lesson that all teens today can benefit from!
This book is well written, the characters are fun and relatable, most importantly, the plot contains valuable life lessons wrapped up in a fun and exciting story that young readers will gravitate towards. I highly recommend this for every middle grade reader in your life!
I received an ARC of this book from Shadow Mountain Publishing. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Engaging Characters and Compelling World Building
Format: Kindle
I loved not only Lena and Lucia’s chemistry but loved the Rynari, Crystal Elves and other creative characters and species that makeup this world. I would read an entire series based in this world and think a series with Lucia and Lena in the center of it about the characters and adventures they come across while running the in would be great!

cozy and detailed fantasy romance
Format: Kindle
Very much the cozy fantasy, the story follows the tale of Lucia and Lina, as circumstance gives them the incentive to grasp something that they both want. It is very much slice of life, focusing on Lucia's day to day running of the inn (often with a lot of details), of those who come and go, and her thoughts and feelings towards Lina and the events that unfold. There is no angst and only a little action, all up an enjoyable sweet story that takes its time in unfurling itself to the reader.
