Adventures in a Video Game: Volume 1 - My Friend from the Future

"Bentley Carmone's twelfth birthday party has been--without question--his worst. For one thing, no one wanted to come. That wouldn't be so bad if those that did come had a good time, but everyone seems to be bored stiff. Finally, (and arguably most importantly), the entire party has just been captured by video game aliens.

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.
