About This Book

Stanley’s fingers fly over the keyboard as the football player on the screen blinks, alive with a spark he didn’t expect. The player’s eyes lock onto Stanley’s, mirroring a secret he’s never shared. Suddenly, the game isn’t just a game anymore—something bigger is about to happen.

Quick Assessment

This young adult novel follows Stanley, a gifted programmer who creates a virtual football player resembling an older version of himself, leading to unexpected and thrilling consequences. Suitable for teens aged 13-18, the story explores themes of identity, ambition, and the blurred lines between reality and imagination. Parents should be aware of mild tension and suspense typical of sports and speculative fiction.
