Cozy Critter Valley is more than Harper’s favourite game—it’s her life. Since moving across the country two years ago, Harper’s only joy has come from chatting with her old friends while playing the game. Now, it looks like Cozy Critter Valley is about to end. Forever.

In the game's final days, Harper is presented with a high-stakes opportunity to save the community she loves. As the clock ticks down, Harper and her friends will need to become masters of disguise, deception, forgery, arts, crafts, and banjos to pull off the ultimate heist. The game may be cozy, but failure won't be. As Harper confronts dangers both within the valley and her own team, she'll be forced to make impossible decisions. This adventure will test everything she knows about friendship, loyalty, and trust in the digital age.

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.

 A.K. Atticus has been drawing since he was old enough to hold a pencil. Growing up on Florida’s sunny Treasure Coast, he honed a style that blends inventive characters with an eye for detail. Today, he channels his imagination into comic book covers, creature designs, and book illustrations for audiences around the world.
