About the Book
A new game obsession threatens Mia and Jordan’s friendship in this fourth book in the New Norm middle grade series about surviving the cringe and chaos of middle school both online and IRL.
Best friends Norm, Mia, and Jordan have been inseparable forever. From helping with Mia’s cockroach farm to filming Jordan’s spicy food review videos to joining Norm’s karaoke nights, the three do almost everything together. But when Mia introduces them to her favorite online game, their fun new hobby spreads to the rest of the school and grows into a full-blown obsession.
Now everyone is playing, vibes are getting toxic, and none of it feels like a game anymore. With Mia and Jordan battling online and in real life, Norm is stuck in the middle. Can he restart their friendship and get the team back together—or is it game over?
