Adventures in a Video Game: Don't Climb This Mountain

by Dustin Brady, Jesse Brady (Illustrator)

Overview

A new series of standalone video game books from bestselling author Dustin Brady (Trapped in a Video Game series) to delight young gamers. Perfect for ages 9—12.

YouTube sensation Sir Hype is using groundbreaking technology to take his annual mountain challenge inside of a video game. One hundred contestants will battle digital monsters, glitching terrain, and backstabbing allies for a chance at fame and fortune atop the peak—or, at least, a chance to make it out alive.

Thanks to some quick thinking and a willingness to bend the truth, Archie Maloney does make it to the mountain. He also brings dozens of other contestants along for the ride, including his little cousin Mae, an ambitious girl named Naila, and the infamous Devil Doug. If the gang can survive a wild race to the mountain, fierce snowball fight against a robot yeti, and showdown with an avalanche, they'll discover that the real danger has just begun. On this mountain, you can't trust anyone.

Dustin Brady's video game books have sold over two million copies by reaching reluctant readers where they are. Kids around the world love his fast—paced stories, short chapters, massive cliffhangers, and laugh—out—loud humor, while parents enjoy the quality writing and wholesome content. Adventures in a Video Game is Brady's most accessible series yet since the books are standalone adventures that can be read in any order.

About the Author

Dustin Brady writes books for kids who think they hate reading. His Trapped in a Video Game and Escape from a Video Game series have sold over two million copies because—as it turns out—there are a lot of kids who think they hate reading. Dustin loves Tetris, pinball, trick shot videos, and many other silly pastimes that he calls “book research” even though they very much don’t seem like book research. He lives in Cleveland, Ohio, with his wife, three kids, and a small dog named Nugget. Dustin honestly can’t believe he gets to do this for a living.

Jesse Brady is a professional illustrator and animator who lives in Pensacola, Florida. His wife, April, is an awesome illustrator too! When he was a kid, Jesse loved drawing pictures of his favorite video games, and he spent lots of time crushing his brother Dustin in Super Smash Bros. over and over again.
