When talented gamer Pete Watson sells a dated video-game console to get cash for the newest Brawl-A-Thon release, he unknowingly gets his father kidnapped and puts United States security at risk. With rapid-fire plot twists, slapstick comedy, and interactive illustrations complete with an "eight-bit" Pete animated through the page turns, this light read champions video-game history and skills.
