"Five tweens navigate the pandemic by attending an experimental virtual reality school"--
Chad Morris loves the VR set he got for Christmas and is much better at it than he is at video games, but that's still not saying much. Still, he would love to try to keep his balance in the SkateCoaster, laugh like crazy in The Furriest, and punch light blasts at alien bugs like in the games invented for this book. He occasionally dances in public, and he's pretty terrible at social media. (If you want, you can follow him, but keep your expectations low.) He loves writing books and hanging out with his wife, Shelly Brown, and five kids. Shelly Brown went to junior high in a regular ol' building (boring) and has never transformed into a round fuzzy animal. But she has been listening to K-pop since before BTS's first album and feels deep affection for well-made falafel pitas. She's the mother of five, wife to author Chad Morris, aunt to some incredible young people, substitute teacher, and wannabe Kyoshi Warrior. She's grateful she gets to spend time with students in assemblies across the nation talking about topics from kindness to writing.
