KS3 LRC Book Recommendation - Virus by Chris Bradford
Set in a future world in which kids risk their lives for real playing an online fantasy game, Virus is a nerve-tingling combination of science-fiction and martial arts extravaganza. Scott know that playing Virtual Kombar will put his life in danger, but the only way to destroy the game is from the inside, and he really wants to avenge the death of his friend. In this he's helped by a group of techno-hackers, but when it comes to the crunch, his tae kwon do skills mean he is on his own against powerful opponents. Chris Bradford is an expert at keeping the tension high and this is a page-turning, super-readable adventure. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 9+
