Description

The Danger Game powers up with an electrifying new videogame adventure from multi-million-copy-bestselling author, Tom Fletcher!

Franky Brown can't wait for tonight's treehouse sleepover with his best friends, the Danger Gang. Eight ordinary kids, all with EXTRAORDINARY secret superpowers!

But then Franky finds a mysterious videogame in the garage and decides to press play. And he's ZAPPED INSIDE IT!

It turns out that Franky's mum—a genius inventor—created the game. She just never meant for it to turn EVIL.

Can the Danger Gang use their superpowers—from Mollie's invisibility, to Eric's shark-mode, to Katy's shrinking skills, and more!—to play Franky to freedom? Can they complete five perilous levels and collect five danger diamonds? And can they defeat the final boss waiting for them at the end...

...or will it be GAME OVER for the Danger Gang?

Laugh-out-loud funny, fast-paced, and exciting, and full of brilliant illustrations, this is the hotly anticipated follow-up to the much-loved mega-bestseller The Danger Gang. Get ready for the next level of adventure...
