LEVEL UP OR GET LOCKED IN! A Halloween they'll never forget. A game they might never escape.
The PlayStation gang had big plans for Halloween: epic costumes, trick-or-treating, and a Halloween party packed with snacks and boss battles. But when a freak storm shuts down the entire suburb, their spook-tacular and fang-tastic night suddenly takes a ghastly nosedive into eery boredom. Trick-or-treaters vanish like vampires at sunrise, and the only thing howling is the wind. Even the pumpkins look bored. No party. No candy. And thanks to Matthew's mom's outrageous overreaction to an unfortunate cheese spill... no gaming.
The PlayStation gang had big plans for Halloween: epic costumes, trick-or-treating, and a Halloween party packed with snacks and boss battles. But when a freak storm shuts down the entire suburb, their spook-tacular and fang-tastic night suddenly takes a ghastly nosedive into eery boredom. Trick-or-treaters vanish like vampires at sunrise, and the only thing howling is the wind. Even the pumpkins look bored. No party. No candy. And thanks to Matthew's mom's outrageous overreaction to an unfortunate cheese spill... no gaming.
Stuck in the basement with nothing but cobwebs, costumes, and empty candy wrappers, the gang stumbles across a strange, dust-covered board game buried in the back corner. It's glitchy. It's ancient. It has a dice and symbols that look like they belong in a museum. But best of all, it has controllers that light up.
Curious-and desperate for fun, they press start and roll the dice. Bad move.
Suddenly, they're sucked into a game-hopping nightmare where every roll launches them into a new digital world. One minute they're dodging lava traps in Roblox, the next they're battling pixelated zombies in Minecraft, escaping imposters in Among Us, and chased by the banana squad in a Fortnite showdown.
There's no pause button. No cheat codes. And no way out until they beat the board.
Can the gang survive the ultimate Halloween quest? Or will they be stuck in survival mode forever in their worst Halloween nightmare?
Perfect for fans of Minecraft, Jumanji, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, this fast-paced adventure is packed with laughs, danger, and enough digital mayhem to keep readers hooked to the final boss battle. FOR PARENTS
Kids who love video games, especially Minecraft, will love the hilarious Game on Boys series. Designed to appeal to the heart of any boy or girl, it's packed with captivating storylines, whacky illustrations, and side-splitting humor-plus loads of awesome gaming content. And here's the best part: each book ramps up the action, with more interactive gaming chaos, clever challenges, and digital mayhem than the last. They won't want to put it down. Even reluctant readers and grown-ups find themselves hooked on the wild ride. PRAISE FOR THE GAME ON BOYS SERIES This is the most amazing series I have ever read! I love how you put so much detail into it! I like the way this series actually takes an everyday kid playing video games and then turns it into a great adventure story. One of the best series read in a very long time - amazing! My son is dyslexic and is not a fan of reading but his English teacher told him to try to read more at home. He's a fan of video games so I thought this one would be a good start and he really enjoyed it! Lots of fun and great Christmas gift. Ideal read for those younger boys who need more challenging reading books. Excellent book for little readers who have been told by school teachers that they need to be reading books that are more challenging. I love the Game on Boys series. I love this book. It made me laugh out loud. I am glad that Kate Cullen added a girl character Elly, because girls love to play video games too.
