LEVEL 13 (PB)

Level 13 by Gordon Korman is the high-stakes sequel to Slacker, following Cameron Boxer—accidental founder of the Positive Action Group—as he tries to keep his video game obsession under wraps while pretending to care about school and service projects. But when a new threat looms, and the school's biggest overachiever is hot on his trail, Cam has to step up (or at least fake it convincingly) to save his reputation, his club, and his shot at reaching Level 13. Fast-paced, funny, and full of heart, this is classic Korman: a clever take on friendship, responsibility, and finding your own kind of success.
