"The Red Queen's Gamble is a great book that has it all - a creative setting, fun believable heros and villians and an exciting plot. I couldn't read one page without laughing, crying and cheering right along with the characters." Diana R. (age 13)

The Red Queen is a player in the ultimate virtual reality game, where the players actually live through scenarios. The story is well spun and enhanced by different characters. Game officials keep popping up like rules officials in a golf tournament, and sometimes theur hilarious rulings make about as much sence as golf officials. The battle rages on and gets wrapped up in a unique and clever way. The book was very entertaining and well crafted.
