Rogue video games. A secret agency to keep the peace. And a couple of kids in suits. Max and Zoe are totally normal kids. As normal as kids get, anyway. They go to school. They come home and play video games. They put off their chores as long as they can. But all that changes when they’re home alone one evening and Zoe defeats the final boss in a secret game Max was able to crack. Ding dong! The doorbell rings. They know they aren’t allowed to answer the door when their dad’s gone. Every kid knows that. But all rules go out the window when a package is delivered, then shortly after a countdown timer that “This package will disappear 10... 9... 8...” Max and Zoe have to act quickly. With no-one in sight, they throw open the door. The second they rip open the package, they pop out of existence and into the digital world of… VIDEO GAME AGENTS ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- Imagine an agency, kinda Men in Black style, who exist to keep video games in check. There are some pretty crazy, pretty powerful, and pretty bad characters lurking in video games. Everyone knows that. But did you know they sometimes get out? Enter our world? Can you imagine? Thank goodness for us, Video Game Agents exist to keep the peace. We continue to live our blissful little lives, unknowing the dangers that lurk around every corner because the VGA is here to save the day. (It’s a secret agency, though, so don’t tell anyone about it.) From the best selling authors, Pixel Ate, known for The Accidental Minecraft Family and Pokémon-inspired Hatchamob series, comes a brand new, high action, crazy fun, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, un-put-downable (yeah, that's a thing) series called Video Game Agents. We're talking monsters. We're talking zombies. We're talking aliens. We're talking characters from video games everywhere that mingle worlds with our own, and kids with cool gadgets, crazy good fashion sense, and witty personalities get to save the day. VGA is written for kids 8-12 years old who love video games and reading. Or even just video games. They don't have to love reading yet—this book will help them with that.

Pixel Ate is actually a team! We’re a mom and dad, who live in the Pacific Northwest. We have five kids ages 10 all the way down to 1. We don’t like to brag, but we think our kids are pretty great. We live on a little bit of land that we’re slowly turning into a farm. We like having lots of space outside to run and play and we’re excited to fill it with some animals. Yay for goats! Everyone in our family loves reading—well, the baby loves chewing on books—so we thought, why not write our own stories? It’s super fun creating worlds and characters and adventures and even more fun when we know other people are enjoying them. Plus, it’s extra special when our kids get to help. We really did have a cat named Bruce Lee the Scar-Faced Ninja Attack Kitty From Japan (Who Smells Like Poop) who got himself into all kinds of sticky situations, but sadly, he is no longer with us. He truly was a great kitty and he truly did fart a lot. Now we have an equally great kitty named Tater Tot and she is a lot less stinky, but just as loved.
