Glitch - Sarah Graley
When game-obsessed Izzy finds out that she can actually enter her new video game, she's equal parts elated and terrified. She meets Rae, a robot who says that her world will be destroyed unless Izzy can save it. So Izzy starts spending a lot of time in the video game leveling up, to the detriment of her real life, annoying her parents and totally alienating her best friend, the apparently gender-fluid (?) Eric. Of course, all is not what it seems, and Dungeon City has more dangers than Izzy realizes. I enjoyed Graley's Donut the Destroyer despite its simplistic story and sketchy art, but this one mostly bored me. No surprises and no character development means this is strictly for kids. [2.5]
