What this book is about
The fourth Pendragon adventure sends Bobby Pendragon to Veelox — a world where the entire population has abandoned real life to live inside a virtual reality called Lifelight, leaving their world to collapse. D.J. MacHale's YA cross-dimensional adventure series continues with a concept that has only grown more prescient: the seduction of chosen illusions over difficult truths. The Reality Bug is one of the series' more philosophical installments.
