OUT NOW: Enter the Meta by Colette Bennett

A graphic of a paperback copy of Enter the Meta by Colette Bennett stands in the centre, against a dark background with two green towers on either side.

We’re wishing Enter the Meta by Colette Bennett a very happy book birthday!

If you’ve finished your latest sports anime and need something else to scratch that itch, this YA tale of friendship and esports for fans of Fence and Free! will start your 2023 off right.

Lissa is obsessed with Ancestral, the latest and greatest battle arena co-op game out there—and she’s really good at it. If she wants to get to the top, she will have to band together with her best friend Ji-Soo—and their friends Ray, Zio, Jae-Jin and Lucas—to become Team Phoenix. With the support of former pro Esport-player, Devon, Team Phoenix trains day and night for the upcoming Regional Championships.

But the road to victory has its twists and turns: Lissa is haunted by the loss of her brother, Ji-Soo’s got a crush on Jae-Jin, and they’re up against the number one team in the region, Mastermind, a group of frat boys who aren’t afraid to play dirty. The odds feel stacked against them, but Team Phoenix is determined to rise from the ashes.
