Virtually Me by Chad Morris, Chad Morris, Shelly Brown, Shelly Brown
4.0
So many books are coming about about Life During the Pandemic, and this book uses it as a way to also explore a virtual school experience (which, obviously, could have been written about before, but why would students enrol? the pandemic just makes that part easier). It's definitely one of those experiments in education, with no expense spared in terms of features and ways to customize the school -- there's even physical education via games!
Our three main POVs are coming for different reasons, either hiding something or looking for a new start. It's pretty obvious how all of that is going to pan out for our crew, because that part is fairly standard. It was also obvious to me why we only got those three voices rather than all of the JaVaHuDa team. So mostly, this was a three star but I'm bumping it up because the way in which school was approached was clever.
