Overview

STEP INTO A WORLD WHERE VIDEO GAMES ARE REAL! Power Up is a thrilling new series of illustrated chapter books packed with action and humour. Max Power may seem like an ordinary pre-teen gamer, but he has a BIG secret. Max doesn't just PLAY video games - he LIVES them! Ever since Max discovered a glowing key in his grandpa's shed, he has been able to transport himself into Arcadia - an incredible, pixellated planet inhabited by virtual characters. IN BOOK TWO OF THIS SERIES... The video-game city called Boom Town is being terrorised by a mashed-up monster that seems partly machine and partly animal. Where did the dragon come from - and how is it connected to Max's friend, Sprocket? Could the answer lie in the mysterious page of computer codes given to Max by his grandpa? Max and his friends must battle against souped-up video game characters in a race against time to solve the mysteries of the Cheat Codex. Can they prevent Lady Lupa from freeing her monstrous master - the Glitch from the Dark Place and seizing ultimate power over Arcadia? An epic adventure for readers aged 7+.
