Get ready for mayhem and pigeon poo in the latest instalment in the Game On series, a fast-paced adventure featuring rogue technology, warring siblings, and disasters of CAT-ASTROPHIC proportions.
Maxs summer holidays are going decidedly NOT to plan. Its bad enough he has to deal with his infuriating younger brother Liam, but now his mums new boyfriend is always around, along with his EVIL son Josh. It seems like things cant possibly get any worse
Then Miss McBoobs phone strikes again, an app transforms Max and Liam from human boys into fleas, and everything goes downhill from there. The brothers are forced to work together to try to beat the app as it serves up impossible questions. Would they rather climb trees like a squirrel or breathe under water like a goldfish? And which option will help them survive until the next round?
Chaos ensues as the reluctant sidekicks race to return to human form before time runs out. Full of awesome facts, laugh out loud situations and comic-style illustrations that bring the action to life, this gaming-inspired adventure is perfect for reluctant readers.
“A fast-paced adventure in which two brothers reconnect as they explore the real-life challenges of being a tiny critter.” - Novel Insight
“While this is a fun fictional story for readers aged 8-12 years, with themes of teamwork and persistence, it is peppered with animal facts, and teacher notes are available.”
- Buzz Words Magazine
“Inspired by her own boys’ relationships and interests, illustrated, and written to entice reluctant readers to give print another go, this is a series that has hit its mark and which could even inspire the reader to have a go at their own writing by thinking about what could happen to them if they were drawn into their own favourite game”
- The Bottom Shelf Edu Blog
“Oh gosh this book was funny! What a great middle grade read- perfect for reluctant readers- particularly boys who love gaming, gross humour and adventurous antics. I absolutely love the illustrations! I love this book and look forward to reading more from this series.”
