The novel I have read for this month’s book report is Gamer
Girl written by Mari Mancusi. I like the ending of this novel because of the bonds
between the main character, Maddy Starr with her family and friends.
At first, Maddy’s parents split, she’s stuck in a new, small
town called New Hampshire full of Aberzombies and Haters , she has a crush on
someone she really shouldn’t like who is one of the Haters. She’s stuck with the nickname Freak Girl. Sometimes
it’s enough to retreat into her drawing-her manga is totally important to her-
but when she gets Fields of Fantasy for her birthday , she knows she’s found
the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can transform from
regular outcast high school student to Allora , a beautiful Elfin princess with
magical powers. As Allora, Maddy’s virtual life is perfect, and she even finds
a little romance. But a real gamer girl understands that real life comes first-
Maddy can’t escape from her IRL problems. She has to find ways to kick back at
the Haters , rock her manga , and find the new,real-life friends she knows she
deserves.
The story ends with Maddy who entered in a drawing contest to
draw an original graphic novel but the novel has been destroyed by the Haters.
Maddy had thoughts to forfeit the contest. Luckily, Maddy’s mother encourages
her to take control of her destiny. Although she does not have her story, Gamer
Girl but she does not give up to enter the contest. Before the contest begins,
her crush who was once one of the Haters and her romance in Fields of Fantasy,
Chad Murray/Sir Leo explain the misunderstanding between them and brought her
manga, Gamer Girl. The manga is fixed by the members of the manga club. At last,
Gamer Girl won the contest and moved on to the national competition. They
celebrate in a restaurant. Maddy is surrounded by her friends, family, and her
new boyfriend. Maddy is no longer a Freak Girl or Gamer Girl. Just Maddy Starr.
I really like this happy ending of this novel. I enjoyed this
novel very much when I started to read this book.
