summary: “Anda loves Coarsegold Online, the massively-multiplayer role
playing game that she spends most of her free time on. It's a place where she
can be a leader, a fighter, a hero. It's a place where she can meet people from
all over the world, and make friends. But things become a lot more complicated
when Anda befriends a gold farmer -- a poor Chinese kid whose avatar in the
game illegally collects valuable objects and then sells them to players from developed
countries with money to burn. This behavior is strictly against the rules in
Coarsegold, but Anda soon comes to realize that questions of right and wrong
are a lot less straightforward when a real person's real livelihood is at
stake...” RSVP at the Childrens' Desk to get your copy! Teens 13+ only,
