  <default_description>After Maddy's parents divorce, she's stuck starting over at a new high school. Friendless and nicknamed Freak Girl, Manga-loving artist Maddy finds refuge in the interactive online game Fields of Fantasy. In that virtual world, she reinvents herself as Allora, a gorgeous elfin alter ego, and meets a true friend in Sir Leo. Maddy can't hide behind Allora forever, especially as a real-life crush begins edging in on her budding virtual romance. But would anyone pick the real Maddy, gamer girl and Manga freak, over the fantasy? &lt;p&gt; This fresh, geeky/cool novel includes online chats and exciting gaming, and features Maddy's Mangastyle artwork.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a fast-paced novel for teens written by a writer who previously had only been published in paperback. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I'm guessing it's more of a thrill to have a hardcover book published. So, the cover and title caught my eye for this book about Maddie, a 16-yr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39823110">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Gamer Girl had me addicted all the way through--don't get me wrong about that. This book, however, was on its way to four stars (it was amazing, but it just didn't have the five star sparkle) until the very end. <br/><br/>Mari Mancusi has written a fine work of teen fantasy fiction.

    <body><![CDATA[The ending literally made me go, &quot;Awwwww.&quot;<br/>It's one of the only cheesy love stories I can handle.<br/>Also because it's more of a confusion throughout the book and then at the end it's cutesy. <br/>I liked it. When I first read the synopsis and and excerpt, I knew I had to read it....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45506315">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow... This book was incredible. :3<br/>I did the unthinkable and judged a book by its cover (purchased from our local school book fair). Being a hardcore gamer and anime fan myself, the mere title &quot;Gamer Girl&quot; had me at first glance.
