Product Information
Fifteen-year-old math prodigy Seth Gordon knows exactly what he wants to do with his life--play video games. Every spare minute is devoted to honing his skills at Starfare, the world's most popular computer game. His goal: South Korea, where the top pros are rich and famous. But the best players train all day, while Seth has school and a job and divorced parents who agree on only one thing: "Get off that damn computer." Plus there's a new distraction named Hannah, an aspiring photographer who actually seems to understand his obsession. While Seth mopes about his tournament results and mixed signals from Hannah, Team Anaconda, one of the leading Korean pro squads, sees something special. Before he knows it, it's goodbye Kansas, goodbye Hannah, and hello to the strange new world of Korea. But the reality is more complicated than the fantasy, as he faces cultural shock, disgruntled teammates, and giant pots of sour-smelling kimchi. What happens next surprises Seth. Slowly, he comes to make new friends, and discovers what might be a breakthrough, mathematical solution to the challenges of Starcraft. Delving deeper into the formulas takes him in an unexpected direction, one that might just give him a new focus--and reunite him with Hannah.

The backdrop of Korea and an elite team of gamers provides a culture clash that boldly shakes up the traditional bildungsroman and gives us something intriguing, bold, and entertaining. Tabak reminds us that our teenage years are full of relationships that transcend equations, that the zeitgeist of teenage life isn't easily quantifiable. -- Peter Tieryas Liu, author of Bald New World and Watering Heaven, ...this book will appeal to gamers (especially those interested in learning about the Korean gaming scene) and teens looking for a light read. -- School Library Journal, "Readers will find Seth an unusually vivid protagonist. Instead of just announcing Seth is a whiz at gaming and math, Tabak repeatedly puts him in the zone,"" implementing strategic and tactical maneuvers in hot game action, and at other times eagerly digging into calculus and inventing algorithms. In contrast to his hostile South Korean teammates, Seth is a good guy: humble in his hard-won successes but not a wimp. Ultimately, loneliness, culture shock, and a scholarship draw him back home, where a final pleasant surprise involving Hannah's college plans awaits. It's always satisfying to see a smart and likable character ""level up."" -- Booklist ", "Part of the reason I loved this book as much as I did was the Korean aspect of it. I am, personally, very interested in Korean culture and it was interesting to look at it from the perspective of someone who is very confused by it. Seth's view of South Korea and "something foreign and sour" (which was kimchi) was very fun to read about because it is so different from the view I have of South Korea. All in all, I enjoyed this book a great deal. It addresses situations all teenagers go through but does so in a completely different environment, making this book something unique.
