Synopsis

Bestselling author Dustin Brady (Trapped in a Video Game series) uses his proven formula of short chapters, massive cliffhangers, and laugh-out-loud humor to turn young gamers into enthusiastic readers through his new series of video game books.

Bentley Carmone's twelfth birthday party has been—without question—his worst. You see, video game aliens just kidnapped all his guests.

Now, Bentley must team up with Polly, a gas station mascot turned video game hero, to hunt down the aliens. Armed with a blaster and laser sword, Polly would be the perfect partner for this job if she could ever stop invading mini-golf courses and blowing up semi-trucks. Over time, Bentley learns that Polly may hold the key not only to saving his friends, but also to solving a mystery that has haunted the Carmone family for years. Can Bentley get through to her before it's too late?

Dustin Brady's video game books have sold over two million copies by reaching reluctant readers (ages 9-12) where they are. Kids around the world love his fast-paced stories, while parents enjoy the quality writing and wholesome content. Irresistible even to kids who think they don’t like reading, Adventures in a Video Game is Brady's most accessible series yet since the books are standalone adventures that can be read in any order.

Bear with me on this plot summary, for it's on the zany and convoluted side and is probably too much for me to do it justice.

Goodreads review by Tonja on September 27, 2024

Action drives this tale forward from one dangerous situation into the next, while adding a dab of heart. This tale takes place two years after the first one in the series. While the technology from Bionosoft has further developed, it isn't available to the public due to a death in an arcade. The soft......more

Goodreads review by Alec Blythe on September 20, 2024

Me apetecía leer algún libro infantil, así que me decidí por este y no puedo decir que me haya decepcionado. A pesar de que es cortito y todo se resuelve muy rápido (nada de lo que sorprenderse en un libro orientado, tal y como dice el autor, a «jóvenes que creen que odian leer»), es muy entretenido......more

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC! 3 stars I liked this better than the other Adventures in a Video Game, mostly because there's less cringe characters xD There's definitely a looot of things I'm wondering the consequences of, but I think the book didn't want to deal with that, so j......more
