Nixy Bauer is a self-made Leveller. Her job? Dragging kids out of virtual reality and back to their parents in the real world. It’s normally easy cash, but Nixy’s latest mission is fraught with real danger, intrigue, and romance.Nixy Bauer is used to her classmates being very, very unhappy to see her. After all, she’s a bounty hunter in a virtual reality gaming world. Kids in the MEEP, as they call it, play entirely with their minds, while their bodies languish in a sleeplike state on the couch. Irritated parents, looking to wrench their kids back to reality, hire Nixy to jump into the game and retrieve them.
But when the game’s billionaire developer loses track of his own son in the MEEP, Nixy is in for the biggest challenge of her bounty-hunting career. Wyn Salvador isn’t some lazy kid looking to escape his homework: Wyn does not want to be found. And he’s left behind a suicide note. Nixy takes the job but quickly discovers that Wyn’s not hiding—he’s being held inside the game against his will. But who is holding him captive, and why?
Nixy and Wyn attempt to fight their way out of a mind game unlike any they’ve encountered, and the battle brings them closer than either could have imagined. But when the whole world is virtual, how can Nixy possibly know if her feelings are real?

three stars | not bad, but the ending felt kind of rushed. also, i had a hard time buying into the romance.This book was as bland and white as a single slice of white bread, and had about the same amount of depth.^our main characterJust a selection of questionable happenings: middle class white girl protagonist thinks she lives in "the ghetto" because her parents are underpaid programmers, the boy she falls in insta-love with has "coffe-with-cream" coloured skin, the Asian friend is a mathematical, chess playing hacker (duh, what else could he be?) (nicknamed Chang, nonetheless) and (view spoiler)
A stunning debut with a spunky and feisty heroine that made me laugh, and root for her. Nixy Bauer is a Leveller. Her job--is to drag kids out of virtual reality and back into the real world. The parents pay her and the kids hate her. Everything is moving along swell, until the game's creator calls her on a mission that could possibly put her in danger. The kind of danger that is not as easy as resetting the game.The creator's son is in the game, and he doesn't want to be found--leaving behind a

3-3.5 starsThe Leveller is the second book in as many months (at the time of writing this review) that I've been reminded of Ready Player One, so I think fans of Ernest Cline will be very happy to know that virtual reality is becoming a hot topic in YA. With The Leveller there's not so much a dystopian feel, and I'm not sure if it's meant to be a standalone or a series because the consequences of the "larger picture" don't come into play until the very end. As it is, this is more of an
First off, Yeessss a nerdy gamer type book.Ok now that I've geeked out for s second let's get down to the review.This to me was the more kiddish/YA version of Ready Player One, it's s virtual reality world were our main character gets paid to get people out of the game. She gets a job from the guy who basically invented it to level his son out.
