I'm going crazy trying to remember the name of this book. It features a girl playing a virtual reality game...

Also, some of what I can remember:

* I think the girl's name was Miriam

* I actually found the name of the book a few months ago, but I've forgotten again, and have a vauge feeling it was "a new world" or something, but that's not coming up on google or anything...

* The girl lived on a houseboat

* She was scared of eyes blinking at her in the dark, and this was one of the points in the book

* The game was played with a boy, and featured a kind of map that they selected the levels on. The map was based on the continents and they had to find certain items in the levels.

* The boy, at one point in the game, was bitten by spiders.

* I think his name was James, but I'm not sure.

    There's a Piers Anthony book with that type of plot. I keep thinking Firefly but could be wrong. Also in the Anthony book I'm sure one of the players in the virtual game was in a wheelchair in reality.

    It's been so long since I read it but I remember thinking it was good; a serious story from the author that wrote the Xanth series.
