"Overpopulation has caused Earth's natural resources to diminish, and people are struggling to survive. Thirteen-year-old Ari is looking after his little brother, Joni, who has fallen ill with a mysterious virus. The boys manage to get hold of a copy of Kepler62, the newest computer game that everyone's talking about and which is supposed to be almost impossible to complete. Working together, the brothers manage the impossible and they soon discover that Kepler62 is more than just a game. It's an invitation--for an adventure, to the outer reaches of our solar system."--Book jacket. The first adventure in the Kepler62 collection. At some point in the future, the Earth's natural resources will become scarce. Ari, a 13-year-old boy, knows this very well: that is the reason that his mother has been absent in search of a job with which to support her children. He's been left in charge of Joni, his little brother. But, although they are worried about this great crisis, the kids have other interests, for example, the rumors about Kepler62, a new video game that is causing quite a fury. It is said that those who manage to complete all its levels will get a mysterious bonus prize. The game would be out of Ari's hands... if it weren't for the unexpected gift of one to his little brother from a stranger. Ari and Joni get right into the game, which is really hard. So much so that it may be more than just a game.
