A new Wii console and simulation game show up in his rec room, and Reid is just bored enough to try them out. When a demon from inside the game threatens him in reality, Reid is plunged into a world of troubled teens he didn't know existed. The demon's challenge takes him on a journey of discovery. Suddenly exposed to other outsiders, Reid learns to question authority and find his own answers. He finds true friends among those labeled defective and cast aside by society-and together, they learn to fight for themselves.

--Terry Davis, author of Vision Quest
“This book is a badass teen book. I mean it tops all other teen books, because this is the real deal. It really goes out to the teens. I mean it's like a book that just jumps out at you. It can go out to everyone's life. It's just that cool.”

"Not being a gamer, I was unsure what to expect upon picking up this book. I ended up loving it and anxious for the sequel! Dan Allosso's fleshed-out characters and considerable writing talent make Outside The Box plenty enjoyable even for those of us who have played video games maybe three times ever. The highly original book is fast-paced and exciting, making it a quick read that even reluctant readers will love. I was very impressed with Dan Allosso, and I'm really looking forward to his next project (and happy to see that a sequel to Outside The Box is in the works)!"

"Let’s begin this review by stating that the author, Dan Allosso, is working on a sequel to OUTSIDE THE BOX. I just wanted to get that out of the way, because after reading this book, you will definitely want to know more...OUTSIDE THE BOX features top-of-the-line gaming equipment and cutting-edge game programs. Main character Reid Anderson takes readers on a trip into that world that they won’t forget...OUTSIDE THE BOX is sure to be popular among gaming teens, but beyond that, anyone who does indeed think “outside the box” is sure to be glad that the adventure will continue."
