Fatal Glitch: Let's Play a Game

 

On Lewis’ first day of school, he just wants to make a friend; maybe the toy, a kid AI panda bear his dad sent him, will help.  But as others in his school are able to get the pandas as well, he has a lot of new friends.  But as more of the bears link up, they decide to start asking their kids to do things so they can win the game against the other kids in the circle.  At first, they were weird things, but as time goes on, the tasks become dangerous. When the bear starts augmenting itself, Lewis gets concerned about where this is going, and if he knew the answer, he might be more scared than he already is.  But what can kids do against these now armed in a since bears?

If you read the first Fatal Glitch, this one is even better.  This is the next step up from Goosebumps, and even creepier.  This is a very imaginative book, and I really liked it a lot.  I will make you think about that Furby or Teddy Ruxpin in the closet a bit differently.  I love the characters and the premise of the book; it is just wonderful and fun for anyone from Middle graders on up, even reluctant readers.
