PLAYING TYLER is one of the best YA books of 2013.” – Bryony Pearce, author of Angel’s Fury, winner of the Leeds Book Award Tyler and his brother, Brandon will remain with me long after I have closed the final page. But I didn’t love Playing Tyler simply because the extremely filmic story kept me on the edge of my seat.In addition to increasing my heart-rate and making me miss the children’s tea, Costa made me laugh and cry.

– Kristan Higgins, NYT and USA TODAY Bestseller author of THE BEST MAN Ty will break your heart and make your cheer on this fast and furious thrill-ride.” “Katniss Everdeen, Harry Potter, Ponyboy Curtis…add another name to the list of unforgettable teenage heroes: Tyler MacCandless. Now Tyler will have to figure out what’s really going on in time to save his brother… and prevent his own future from going down in flames. That is, until Brandon goes MIA from rehab and Tyler and Ani discover that the game is more than it seems. And when he falls in love with the game’s designer, the legendary gamer Ani, Tyler thinks his life might finally be turning around. If his score’s high enough, it could earn him a place in flight school and win him the future he was certain that he could never have. Just when it seems like his future is on a collision course with a life sentence at McDonald’s, Rick asks him to test a video game. The one thing in life it seems he doesn’t suck at is playing video games and, well, thats probably not going to get him into college. The only person he can really count on is his Civilian Air Patrol Mentor, Rick. Tyler’s dad is dead and his mom has mentally checked out. He can’t focus on school, on his future, on a book, on much of anything other than taking care of his older brother, Brandon, who’s in rehab for heroin abuse… again. Tyler MacCandless can’t focus, even when he takes his medication.
