Video Game Elementary

One crew. One impostor. It's field trip day at VGL, and Connor's fourth-grade class is blasting off into space-virtually, that is. But when a monster attack delays takeoff, Connor gets a worrying ping. Someone aboard their ship is working with the evil Ginevra, and Connor, now a sworn Custodian, must find the impostor before it's too late.Trapped in an intergalactic survival quest called Lost in Space, Connor and his team must repair their broken ship, dodge space-hopping monsters, and race rival crews for a legendary prize-all while keeping a close eye on Garon, their smug new classmate with a strange and powerful avatar. Is Garon just a gifted gamer-or the key to Ginevra's evil plan? The clock is ticking. One wrong move could cost Connor everything.Funny, fast-paced, and full of nods to classic video games, Video Game Elementary is perfect for fans of Minecraft and Roblox, or anyone who's ever wanted to live inside their favorite video game. Scott Charles is the author of Creeptown, a horror adventure series for young readers, and the standalone adventure (and fan favorite) Mylo and Max Break the World. He writes thrilling books for busy kids who might not want to be reading, but what choice do they have? Zero! None! Scott grew up in a pair of small towns outside of Princeton, New Jersey. He attended Duke University, where he graduated with a B.A. in Public Policy and successfully summoned a Soul Spirit. He enjoys the spoils of his dastardly deal at his home in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can find him at the library, across a chess board, or on a soccer field late, late at night.

Dr. Karsus insists she's just filling in, but Connor's class isn't buying it. So when a fresh wave of monsters storms the school, Connor quickly guesses the culprit-which begs an ominous question: Can a fourth grade Custodian actually stop an Administrator?Funny, fast-paced, and full of nods to classic video games, Video Game Elementary is perfect for fans of Minecraft and Roblox, or anyone who's ever wanted to live inside their favorite video game.
