Marsha Hendershot is given the job of "super hero" by two celestial beings and told to fight crime, save Earth, along with our pitiful species, and pick up litter. Suddenly her life with Mooch, her beloved dog, and Buster, her deranged goldfish, is turned upside down. Marsha doesn't want the job, but, curiosity and the need to succeed at something, just once in her lifetime leads her to become Super Chick. How she deals with her role as a super hero, runs her bakery, falls in love with Bruce Canfield, saves her parent's marriage, and the life of her batty neighbor, Mattie Mc Fee, is the basis for this fast-paced and hilariously funny chick-lit romp through the world of the unimaginable. Marsha, amazingly, does it all while saving herself from freezing to death in a meat locker, loosing dozens of biscotti to Super Chick's fire retardant foam, and capturing Abdullah bin Chad Al-Hijazi, an Afbadistan terrorist, intent on destroying the United States.

Metagames: Games about Games scrutinizes how various meta devices, such as breaking the fourth wall and unreliable narrator, change and adapt when translated into the uniquely interactive medium of digital games. Through its theoretical analyses and case studies, the book shows how metafictional experimentation can be used to both challenge and push the boundaries of what a game is and what a player’s role is in play, and to raise more profound topics such as those describing experiences of people of oppressed identities. The book is divided into six chapters that deal with the following meta devices: breaking the fourth wall, hypermediation, unreliable narrator, abusive game design, fragmentation, and parody. The book will predominantly interest scholars and students of media studies and game studies as it continues discourses held in the discipline regarding the metareferential character of digital games.
