Book 2 in the action-packed The Boy with Video Game Powers series!

Whether he likes it or not, Milo Garrett wears the Glitch Ring, a magical item that gives him video game powers in real life! With these incredible abilities, Milo must stand as the Champion, a brave hero tasked with stopping evil forces who are spawning into the real world from an alternate reality called the Gameverse.

Milo is just getting used to fighting bad guys from the Gameverse, but he’s never met an ally before. That is, until now! When a mini-dragon spawns in Empire City looking for the Champion’s help, Milo is swept into a quest he never saw coming.

Milo must rescue a princess who’s being held captive in the Gameverse. To free her, he needs to find a magic gem that will transport her to his world. However, dark forces from the Gameverse don’t want the princess to escape, and they’ll do whatever it takes to stop him. Milo is determined to succeed, but as he’s about to learn, this princess is no damsel in distress—and rescuing her might be the biggest mistake he ever made.

Kids 8-12, reluctant readers, and adults will love joining Milo on his quest to level up from gamer to real-life hero. With non-stop action and laugh-out-loud humor, this highly relatable, easy-to-read series unlocks an incredible reward—it gets kids reading!

I absolutely love these books so far. I grew up gaming, and now I have 2 boys that I started reading to. I saw the title and wanted to give it a shot and so happy I did!
