Summary:
Anda loves Coarsegold Online, the massively-multiplayer role playing game that she spends most of her free time on. It's a place where she can be a leader, a fighter, a hero. It's a place where she can meet people from all over the world, and make friends. Gaming is, for Anda, entirely a good thing.
But things become a lot more complicated when Anda befriends a gold farmer -- a poor Chinese kid whose avatar in the game illegally collects valuable objects and then sells them to players from developed countries with money to burn. This behavior is strictly against the rules in Coarsegold, but Anda soon comes to realize that questions of right and wrong are a lot less straightforward when a real person's real livelihood is at stake.

My Honest Opinion:
I loved this book. The cover I think is absolutely gorgeous and reflects the story really well. I read this book in 1 sitting and its very hard for me to do that. Since I have kids. This was just such a good story. It is a young adult graphic novel. But I enjoyed it so so much. I was not expecting to enjoy this story as much as I did. For graphic novel lovers. I would highly recommend this story. This would also be a great graphic novel for first time readers.
It was funny, the graphics were beautiful. It made me want to play along with CourseGoldOnline. This is definately a story to read.
