Searching for a book I read as a kid that my kiddo would love now. It was by a mainstream author who writes adult books, but this one was specifically aimed at kids. I can't remember if it was a mystery author or a sci Fi author.

It was set in the future where vr was a big thing and people played this fantasy world game. A crime was committed in game and they enlisted some kids who play in the game to help solve the crime.

Edit: book was published prior to 2003

Edit: found! Tom Clancy's Net Force Explorers: The Deadliest Game

My middle school son wants to do some choral practice over the summer, but chorus was never my area of expertise. I could easily work with him myself, but due to our family schedule we're looking for some ways he can practice independently when I'm not present. Are there any good apps or videos for something like that? I can get him some basic music theory pen and paper stuff to work on certainly.

I have very vivid memories of reading this, but I can't remember what it's called. I don't recall if it was a book or short story. I would have read it in the late 90s or early 00s but definitely prior to 2003. Could have been written anytime before that though.

Basic premise was that every year kids switch from being male to female and vice versa. This is a complete physical switch. Then at a certain age they have to choose which to be for the rest of their lives. But they can "not choose", in which case they'd be both but also outcast.

Main character eventually finds some sort of storage unit of bodies, and they had male, female, and "both" versions for everyone and would somehow swap your consciousness between bodies every year.

That's all I've got.
