Editorial Reviews

"Award-winning author M.P. Follin presents a fantasy-rich middle-grade novel about a video game that may be more ─ but play at your own risk! Ethyr is a wild ride where one wrong move means game over--permanently! Follin excels at creating the settings for Skyler's everyday life both inside and outside of Ethyr. Her smooth prose, realistic dialogue, tension and conflict between the characters, descriptions, surprising twists and turns, and solid pacing make for a delightful read for all ages. Ethyr--the novel--is a real pleasure to read!" - Chanticleer Reviews



"Even though I was totally unaware of the children's game it is based on, M. P. Follin's ETHYR drew me in at once and held me to the end as if by an invisible force. I predict huge success for the story and its author, who is as skilled, imaginative, and vivacious a writer as I have discovered in years!" - John Killinger, author of The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Harry Potter
