Lukezilla Beats the Game by David Sossella, Kurtis Scaletta

4.0

Parents tell the kids they need less screen time. Kids tell parents they don't understand. Lucas is caught in the age-old battle of wills. When he and his friends win a place in a local tournament for Smashtown, Lucas has to balance time without screens and practice sessions with his friends. Lucas gains new friends and a new understanding of what friendship means.

Kids who play Hyrule, Super Smash Brothers, and Fortnite will enjoy the in-depth gameplay as well as the love of video gamer personalities. Perfect for reluctant readers and highly relatable. As a grown-up, the step by step battle sequences were a little much, but I could see kids getting really into it.
