| Summary: | Sixteen-year-old Emilia, secretly a dedicated gamer, competes with her elite team in a major tournament at the same time she and her best friend are running for class president and vice president. By day, Emilia is a field hockey star with a popular boyfriend and a mother obsessed with her academic future. By night, she's kicking virtual butt as the only female member of a highly competitive eSports team. Emilia has mastered the art of keeping her two worlds thriving, which hinges on them staying completely separate. When a major eSports tournament comes to her city, Emilia is determined to prove herself to the male-dominated gaming community. Her perfectly balanced life is thrown for a loop when Jake, a member of a rival team, recognizes her. He's had a crush on Emilia since he met her at an arcade. Will the pressures from their teams, and their nongaming worlds, pull them apart? -- adapted from jacket |
