The Farnsworth Chronicles: Book #2, Lives are at Stake

NJ Farnsworth is a thirteen-year-old in the seventh grade. He is the third of four children in his single-parent family—and he was born with spina bifida. Until this year, NJ hated school and merely endured every day in his wheelchair. But when his school gave him a laptop for his homework, he discovered an artificial intelligence game in which he could walk and run and play like other children. On each level of the game, he learns new principles, values, and skills to help him live better in his wheelchair. This time the game’s mission requires him to save the lives of three people before he can complete the level successfully and advance in the game. But who does he have to save? What must he save them from? How can he save anyone else when he is just thirteen years old? Will he even be able to save himself inside this level of Rhineheart’s Game?
