Only Johnny can save them. And this isn't a game any more . . .

Review:
"An impressively original book with its thrills and spills, its inventiveness, its wit and continuous readability" * Daily Telegraph * "A wonderful new Pratchett-style fantasy: funny and thrilling enough for anyone who can read fluently" * Daily Mail * "Funny and exciting" * Spectator * "Terry Pratchett's funny, fast-moving story makes provocative reading for all computer game players . . . Makes a serious point out of a ridiculously comic example" * Children's Books of the Year * "Everyone should read Terry Pratchett. Maybe it should be part of the National Curriculum?" * Families *
