About this ebook

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 8-10) where they are.

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.

About the author

Dustin Brady writes books for kids who think they hate reading. His Trapped in a Video Game and Escape from a Video Game series have sold over two million copies because—as it turns out—there are a lot of kids who think they hate reading. Dustin loves Tetris, pinball, trick shot videos, and many other silly pastimes that he calls “book research” even though they very much don’t seem like book research. He lives in Cleveland, Ohio, with his wife, three kids, and a small dog named Nugget. Dustin honestly can’t believe he gets to do this for a living.

Jesse Brady is a professional illustrator and animator who lives in Pensacola, Florida. His wife, April, is an awesome illustrator too! When he was a kid, Jesse loved drawing pictures of his favorite video games, and he spent lots of time crushing his brother Dustin in Super Smash Bros. over and over again.
