"Some people still say that Warcross is just a stupid game. Others say it's a revolution. But for me and millions of others, it's the only foolproof way to forget our troubles. [...]tonight, I can join in with everyone else, put on my glasses, and watch magic happen."
Ever since her fathers death a poor, young, but gifted hacker called Emika has been trying to survive by catching criminals and turning them in to the police.
But one day she becomes a spy after she illegally and 'acidentally' hacks into the biggest game of all- the International Warcross Championships.
Thinking she would be arrested she is taken by surprise when her role model and billionaire Hideo Tanaka, creator of Warcross offers her a job, to be his spy in the Warcross Championships, along with a 10 million dollar offer and a last minute player in the Warcross Championships
Shortly after Emika accepts the job she is taken to Tokyo, to experience the fame shes only dreamed about. But soon she discovers a sinister plan that will effect all of Warcross.
This book reminds me of the book Ready Player One, in both books has a digital world that most of the plot is based around- in this book it is Warcross, in Ready Player One it is The Oasis.
Like many of Marie Lu's other books Warcross features lots of action, plot twists, ends on a clifhanger, is fast-paced and very addictive, making you wait impatiently for the next book. I would definitely recommend this book.

Short Stories: WHERE IS DANIEL?
The time was an early morning in the winter of 1941. Falling snow packed onto the hard labourers of Gulag 10 WLA as they begin setting off into the mines and factories somewhere in the far east. Malnourished, mistreated and muddy, the inhabitors of this typical Gulag were kept under strict control of General Victor, who gave harsh punishments to any prisoner who dared riot or worse, insult the government. It was a normal evening. The prisoners were escorted back to the Gulag through the freezing taiga by cattle carriages. They waited in line for their daily rations: Rubbery potatoes, dried bread and lime water. If one behaved well and boasted high production, he/she would sometimes be rewarded with a small knob of fresh corn, a snack the guards would gladly feast on. General Victor was feasting on a large chicken when Archie, or formally, Guard Number One burst into his room reporting misbehaviour between two prisoners. Ben (Guard Number Two) and Mile...
Book Review - I Am Malala
This book - I Am Malala - is about Malala Yousafzai, who fought for the right of girl's education, when the Taliban took over Pakistan, Malala's home country. It was an autobiography novel, written by Malala herself with help from Patricia Mccormick and was written for teens. Malala was an ordinary girl living in Pakistan with her family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed school, which she did very well at. However, in Pakistan, women were restricted in what they could do and be seen doing and these worsened when the Taliban came when Malala was 10 years old. Even at this age, Malala did not like that women were treated so horribly. So she spoke out, but the Taliban did not like this. They took action and shot Malala on her school bus, she never got to and probably never will get to make that journey back home. The bullet was shot into Malala's head and narrowly avoided her brain, it took Malala several surgeries, physical therapy sessions and a flight halfway across the...
