Product Description Having moved to Thunder Bay with his grandmother to live with her cousin, Rhan Van, whose video game identity is RanVan, turns to a new game and a rivalry with someone who calls himself "Iceman." From School Library Journal Grade 710?With a blend of idealism and realism, superhero and knight RanVan begins his unplanned quest to defend good and defeat evil and unfairness. In "real life," highschool freshman Rhan plays video games, helps his grandmother manage an apartment complex, and attends school. After noting inequities such as the popular kids hazing freshmen and not allowing anyone else to sit at the cafeteria tables, as well as meeting Thalie, who has problems with her mother's boyfriend, Rhan stands up to defend the underdogs and becomes RanVan: The Defender. In doing so, he discovers that his real life often parallels the fantasy world of his video game, with unexpected twists and turns and, often, near destruction. In Worthy Opponent, the teen and his grandmother move across Canada. With a new video game to purchase and conquer, he needs money so he finds a job?and a girlfriend. The game, which involves a good and an evil twin, again begins to parallel his real life as he tries to defend himself against "The Iceman." Canadian author Wieler has created an intriguing character who shows both strength and vulnerability. Rhan's ability to keep fighting despite his numerous setbacks and wrong decisions makes him a character with whom readers will empathize. Wellconstructed parallel plots both within and between the books stretch the bounds of realism and provide readers with a strong story and a sympathetic hero.?Janet Hilbun, Sam Houston Middle School, Garland, TXCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
