Product Description

Warring brothers Max and Liam find themselves trapped in a time-travel game. Can they survive the dangers and solve the riddles without killing each other? Gaming-obsessed Max and his infuriating younger brother, Liam, are forced to work together when a new game on Miss McBoob’s mobile phone sucks them into a time-travelling vortex. The ‘Glitched’ app transports the brothers to earlier versions of their home town where they find themselves in the Stone Age, in Roman times, in the Middle Ages and in the age of the dinosaurs. To return to their own time they must solve riddles while dodging woolly mammoths, jousting knights and all manner of bodily fluids, both human and animal! Author and illustrator Emily Snape’s sons were both reluctant readers, which made her want to write books they could not resist reading! Reading should be a pleasure and it was Emily’s aim to write books that pull you in and hook you from the start. ‘Hopefully, then you can’t help being moved by the characters as they grow and develop. I love comedy in books, but funny books also have to have heart, believable characters, and a great plot that keeps you reading till the very end.’ With a clever mix of realism and fantasy and packed with historically accurate settings, crazy scenarios and gross facts, Game On: Glitched is perfect for reluctant readers, particularly boys.

    Max hates school history. But in Glitched, the second book of the Game On! series, Max and Liam are sent back in time. Max finds his younger brother, Liam, infuriating and keeps arguing with their mother about her new romantic interest. After going to the toilet and commenting on how people in the Stone Age had to wipe their bottoms with pebbles, Max and Liam are playing a game on Ms McBoob's phone. When the app starts to glitch, they are sent back in time! The squabbling brothers are forced to work together as they navigate earlier versions of their hometown across the Stone Age, Roman times, Middle Ages and Early Cretaceous era. Much like their last adventure, they must solve riddles and find items to escape. But this time, they don't have a limited number of lives. They have a battery level that slowly decreases each chapter, and they must also dodge woolly mammoths, jousting knights, dinosaurs, and several bodily fluids. Will they make it home?
