Game Over, Pete Watson

By Joe Schreiber & Andy Rash
Game Over, Pete Watson by Joe Schreiber & Andy Rash digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When videogame obsessed Pete Watson discovers his dad is not only a super-spy but has been kidnapped and is now trapped inside a video game, he has to use his super gaming skills and enter the game to rescue him.  Will he be able to save his friends and family and the entire world from giant mechanical cockroaches and a massive cyber attack set to take down the world's network?  And if he succeeds, who will save Pete from his massive crush on Callie Midwood?
   From the comedic mind of Joe Schreiber (Lenny Cyrus School Virus, Au Revoir Crazy European Chick, Perry's Killer Playlist), comes an action-packed Alex Rider-meets-Greg Heffley middle grade romp that grabs readers by the funny bone and doesn't let go! Illustrated throughout with black and white comic drawings by Andy Rash.

“My daughter loved this book, so I gave it a read too. I enjoyed it as well . she loves video games so it was no surprise she loved this book.”
“I received a review copy from Amazon Vine. I requested this book, because I thought my 4th grader would like it. And he did -- sort of. He picked it up right away, which is great, because he's kind of picky (or at least stubborn, if he decides he doesn't like something!). He read through it pretty quickly and ended up passing me up (we often have dueling bookmarks if we are both reading). There was a lot to like -- a sort of mystery/adventure when Pete has a yard sale to raise money to buy the newest and greatest video game, which results in selling a special piece of equipment his dad uses that could have worldwide consequences -- even the President of the U.S. is affected! The conversational style made it easy to read. Pete Watson is writing it all down, and even says that the full electronic version will have clips and videos. It is accompanied by black and white hand-drawn kid-style illustrations as well. There's a fun flip book at the bottom as well. For some reason my son said he did't like the ending. I don't usually hear this as a complaint from him, but for some reason the ending downgraded the whole experience for him overall. I thought the ending was okay, kind of exciting even, but I did think that the whole book overall was just okay, kind of cheesy. But if the cover and description calls out to your video-game loving child, as it did to mine, I'd say to put it in his or her hands. It was a pretty fun read, and any time spent with a book is preferable to time spent gaming, in my opinion.”
