Rhineheart's Game: Mission Two NJ Farnsworth is a ten-year-old in the fourth grade. He is the fourth of six children in his family-and he was born with spina bifida. Until this year, NJ hated school and merely endured every day in his wheelchair. But when his school gave him a laptop computer for his homework, he discovered a secret virtual reality program in which he can walk and run and play like other children. On each level of the game, NJ learns principles, values and skills to help him live better in his wheelchair. This mission requires that he save the lives of three people before he can complete the level successfully. But who does he have to save? What must he save them from? How can he save anyone else, when he is just ten years old? Will he even be able to save himself inside this level of Rhineheart's Game?

Rhineheart’s Game, Level One – Understanding is the first book about Nicolas James Farnsworth—who goes by NJ. He was born with Spina bifida to a large family in a big city where money is scarce. When the new school year started, all the students in the special needs class were issued a laptop computer to help them with their schoolwork. However, when NJ gets home and turns on his computer, he meets a man named Rhineheart inside his computer who introduces NJ to a computer program which takes him into a virtual reality and teaches him skills he needs to live a more enjoyable life in his wheelchair. Once inside the game, NJ finds he can walk, run and play like other children. The people he meets and the skills he learns make it so he will never be the same person again, once he returns to his real life and his wheelchair.

William Hauff was born in Germany in 1802 and died in 1827, barely 25 years old, but the author of several well received works, including the Fairy Tales (early fairy tales with content that is not common), novels and poems - very much in the Brothers Grimm tradition. In some he uses the device of having a continuing story, or a story from each member of a group, in one case, the Sheik's slaves. A portion is "Arabian Nights" in style - there are evil witches and enchanted dwarves who change back into handsome young men.
