Virus to Play is to Die - Author Chris Bradford

The game isn’t over yet… and this time, the virus might be real.

Scott almost lost his life inside Virtual Kombat, the ruthless VR game exploiting vulnerable street kids for entertainment. Now on the run and hunted by Wasp drones, Scott joins forces with a group of rebel hackers determined to shut VK down for good.

Their weapon? A powerful virus.
The catch? Scott must re-enter the deadly virtual arena to deploy it… and he might not make it out alive.

High-stakes, fast-paced, and full of danger — this chapter book is perfect for reluctant readers and action fans alike.

Why we, and schools, like it:

• Designed with dyslexia-friendly formatting (font, paper, layout)
• Tackles themes of technology, resistance, and survival
• Appeals to readers who love video games and thrillers
