Product Description
Everyday objects will never seem the same again for Max and Liam as they try to beat the game, and each other.
Gaming-obsessed Max and his infuriating younger brother, Liam, are forced to work together to survive epic adventures on a miniscule scale. When rebellious Liam starts playing ‘Shrinkle’ on his babysitter's phone, he has no idea what he’s letting himself in for. The app shrinks the brothers to the size of a minifigure! Their safe home has suddenly become a treacherous landscape. Can they scale sofa mountain, escape Miss McBoob's snoring mouth and outsmart the now-enormous pet cat? And will they stay tiny forever?
Author and illustrator Emily Snape’s sons were both reluctant readers, which made her want to write books that they wouldn’t be able to 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 exciting gaming strategies, crazy scenarios and gross facts, Game On: Shrinkle is perfect for reluctant readers, particularly boys.

When Max and Liam are accidentally taken into a game on Miss McBoob’s phone, they shrink into tiny people! The game looks like their house, and they are unsure what is real. Liam loses the phone, and they assume that they need it to escape. While trying to escape their LEGO castle, they encounter a spider. They outwit the spider and find the phone under Liam's bed. After escaping with the phone, they venture into their mother's bedroom. Unfortunately, Liam is captured by their baby sister, Clio! Although she is now huge to them, Max knows he must save Liam. Clio drops them both in her nappy bin, and they get covered in the gross smell. Will the boys make it back to their normal size before it is too late?
