Description
Everyday objects will never seem the same again for Max and Liam as they try to beat the game, and each other.
Gaming-obsessed Max and his infuriating younger brother, Liam, are forced to work together to survive epic adventures on a minuscule scale. When rebellious Liam starts playing Shrinkle on his babysitter's phone, he has no idea what he’s letting himself in for. The app shrinks the brothers to the size of a minifigure! Their safe home has suddenly become a treacherous landscape. Can they scale sofa mountain, escape Miss McBoob's snoring mouth, and outsmart the now-enormous pet cat? And will they stay tiny forever?
Author and illustrator Emily Snape’s sons were both reluctant readers, which inspired her to write books that they wouldn’t be able to resist reading. Emily’s aim was to create books that pull you in and hook you from the start, making reading a pleasurable experience. She believes that funny books also need to have heart, believable characters, and a great plot that keeps you engaged till the very end.
With a clever mix of realism and fantasy, and packed with exciting gaming strategies, crazy scenarios, and gross facts, Game On: Shrinkle is perfect for reluctant readers, particularly boys.
