The powerful pull of family love, though, is ultimately the basis of Emma's success, as she completes her tasks to save her family and to discover who she really is.

Strong themes of the necessity of discovering one's own identity and persisting in the face of danger and defeat dominate this novel. There are many (countless) other characters each more weird and wonderful than the last.The intricate connections between these players of the Game are extremely complex. Heroes with 'magickal' powers, characters described in infinite detail, and the excitement of competitive gaming will attract both boys and girls who long to be the honourable hero who succeeds in the face of almost insurmountable odds through gritty determination and dogged persistence, not to mention a little luck. It’s full of the resonance of Canadian summer, the mystique of forest and water, and is sure to linger in the reader’s mind long after the last page is turned. Video game players will revel in this book's fast paced action, leaps into the unknown, character morphing and setting meltdowns.
