520    "From debut author Charlene Allen comes a captivating YA 
       contemporary mystery and coming-of-age story, celebrating 
       the power of friendship, first love, and exploring the 
       criminal justice system from the lens of restorative 
       justice. Perfect for fans of Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone,
       and Maureen Johnson. In the game of life, sometimes other 
       people hold all the controls. Or so it seems to VZ. Four 
       months have passed since his best friend Ed was killed by 
       a white man in a Brooklyn parking lot.   When Singer, the 
       man who killed Ed, is found dead in the same spot where Ed
       was murdered, all signs point to Jack, VZ's other best 
       friend, as the prime suspect. VZ's determined to complete 
       the video game Ed never finished and figure out who 
       actually killed Singer. With help from Diamond, the girl 
       he's crushing on at work, VZ falls into Ed's quirky 
       gameiverse. As the police close in on Jack, the game 
       starts to uncover details that could lead to the truth 
       about the murder. Can VZ honor Ed and help Jack before 
       it's too late?"--|cPublisher marketing.
