When videogame obsessed Pete Watson discovers his dad is not only a super-spy but has been kidnapped and is now trapped inside a video game, he has to use his super gaming skills and enter the game to rescue him.  Will he be able to save his friends and family and the entire world from giant mechanical cockroaches and a massive cyber attack set to take down the world's network?  And if he succeeds, who will save Pete from his massive crush on Callie Midwood?
   From the comedic mind of Joe Schreiber (Lenny Cyrus School Virus, Au Revoir Crazy European Chick, Perry's Killer Playlist), comes an action-packed Alex Rider-meets-Greg Heffley middle grade romp that grabs readers by the funny bone and doesn't let go! Illustrated throughout with black and white comic drawings by Andy Rash.

AWSOME BOOKS

Cool!I love diary of the wimpy kid so i think i will enjoy this and so will my brother

Pete Watson has been saving up to buy the new video game, the Brawl-A-Thon 3000, but the morning of the release, he discovers that his mom has taken $20 from his money jar! Determined to buy the game without his parents' knowledge, he hosts a garage sale. At that garage sale, he encounters a man whom he calls "Bug Man," and sells Bug Man his dad's old video game console, the Commandroid 85 Video Arcade System. Soon after Pete's dad is kidnapped, he finds himself trying to save the world with his seventeen-year-old crush and his rubber-band-twanging best friend. Personally, i didn't really like this book. i feel like it should be aimed for kids younger than the age range (9-12) because there's not much of a story. you can't really feel the whole "saving the world" vibe deeply, but you might have your own opinion.

I'm an advanced reviewer for dogobooks, so i'm reading this one now !

Is this an advanced book?

Yep! It hasn't even come out yet but if you're a Dogobooks advanced reviewer you get it WAY before. If you want to be one you can ask your mom to contact the DOGOnews editor - like i did. I get new books all the time - Its awesome!

This might seem a little weird, but how do you prove that you are an advanced reader? (I have never gotten a book from Dogobooks because I haven't been on long enough

You don't have to be advanced at reading. Being an "advance reviewer" means you get book in advance, before they come out. Anyone who likes reading can become one. You should email the editor and after you have parent permission they will send you books. You get to keep the books, but you must write a review on dogonews. I really like your reviews maybe you should become one!
