Reviews

"A progressively silly, retro-geeky action story for the YOLO generation"
—Kirkus

"Schreiber remains talented at combining anything-can-happen action and on-the-mark humor...Rash's spot cartoons are entirely in sync with the story's goofy metafictional humor and deliver many jokes themselves, making the novel read like a distant action-oriented cousin to the Wimpy Kid books."
—Publisher's Weekly

"Short chapters, engaging titles, lists, and several diary-type sketches will appeal to kids with short attention spans."
—School Library Journal

"A madcap adventure that leaves no doubt that 'video games are serious business.'"
—Booklist
