Milo and Toaster: Glitched!: Level 1: Game on

One headset. One pug. One hundred players who want him DELETED.

Milo Park has a gaming channel with exactly forty-seven subscribers, a "studio" that's really just a closet, and a four-dollar headset he bought off a strange old lady at a yard sale. ("Take care of it," she said. "It's already taken care of you." Then she vanished. Totally normal.)

The first time Milo puts it on, he doesn't log IN to the game.

He lands inside it.

Real Milo. Real jungle. Real glowing energy-drink can that his pug, Toaster, gulps down by mistake - turning him into a wheezing, slobbering dog the size of a CAR. And just as Milo's wrapping his head around THAT, the sky lights up with the worst words he's ever read: MATCH STARTING IN 30 SECONDS. Ninety-nine other players. One shrinking battlefield. And one very glitched kid armed with a phone, a paperclip, and absolutely no idea how to get home.

His only lifeline? His big sister, Nova - a top-ranked player who can see the whole map from her bedroom and is NOT thrilled about babysitting from the real world.

But Milo's real problem is The Mods: the suits who run this game, who've noticed he doesn't belong here... and who would very much like to fix that.

Milo's about to learn the number-one rule of his strange new life: in here, the game hurts for REAL.

GAME ON.

A hilarious, action-packed illustrated adventure for ages 7-12 - stuffed with pictures, chapter-ending cliffhangers, and laughs on every page. If your kid loves video games and "just one more chapter," meet their next obsession.
