  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;In the virtual reality game &lt;i&gt;Heir Apparent, &lt;/i&gt;there are &lt;i&gt;way &lt;/i&gt;too many ways to get killed--and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Which is a darn shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she'll &lt;i&gt;never &lt;/i&gt;win.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And she has to, because losing means she'll die--&lt;i&gt;for real &lt;/i&gt;this time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this because I found it at the thrift and it was 50 cents and about computer games. I thought, hey, ok, it might be YA lit, but maybe if I put it in our miscellaneous fiction, some game art major might find it and read it and get something out of it. Unfortunately, it was not good enough to d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74677406">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[   This is a really cool book it has such a awesome story line. What really got my to read this book is that on the cover she is holding a sword do not let that trick you!
