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

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.
