His parents are sorta cool, but only two weeks into his eighth-grade year, his friends are all busy with sports or projects and can\u2019t hang out.

His increasing inability to focus on anything other than a girl who vanished before he was born\u2015and his obsession with her NPC ranger\u2015drives him to dig deeper into the past, searching for what really happened to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time Keith realizes the Gamemaster\u2019s Codex holds something darker than rules within its pages, the curse that claimed the soul of a girl in 1987 has its claws in his group as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keith vows his friends will escape\u2015even if he can\u2019t.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings!
