Never back down, never give up!

Thirteen-year-old Teddy Habib dreams of being a pro gamer. He just never expected he'd end up in the big leagues. And no, not the big esports competitions, like NickEh30. Big leagues as in if he doesn't win this game, the world as we know it is doomed.

When a mysterious new game developer unleashes a bug that’s turning everyone into the “Glitched,” the government’s Special Division steps in. They recruit Teddy; his best friend, Stackz; Teddy’s loyal and surprisingly cuddly German shepherd, Rocco; the indomitable TeenyTerrorPlays; and the agile Keke_Klutch to infiltrate the game.

But if the Stream Team fails . . . well, it's GAME OVER.

The Stream Team: Battle Squad is the first book in an epic new series by pro Fortnite streamer NickEh30 and New York Times bestselling author E.C. Myers. With stunning chapter header illustrations and cover art by renowned artist Ronaldo Barata (known for his cover work with Five Nights at Freddy's and interior art of Afro Unicorn: The Land of Afronia), this series opener is action-packed, tons of fun, and definitely NOT a glitch in the system. Plus, it's perfect for fans of Dustin Brady (Trapped in a Video Game and Escape from a Video Game), Andrea Towers (Gamer Girls), E.C. Myers's own work with RWBY and Five Night's at Freddy's, and of course, gamers who love Minecraft, Battlefront, Apex Legends, Overwatch, Halo, Call of Duty, and Super Smash Bros.
