Maya's First Game

By Sammie Hale

*For her seventh birthday, Maya gets her first real video game. Not letters. Not drawing. A world. She presses START - and her heart goes boom-boom-boom. Level one: DONE Level two: jump - splat "One more try " Then her friend Jay comes over, and winning together turns out to be fireworks. But dinner calls, and "just five more minutes" has been said five minutes ago... Then one rainy day, Maya loses. Badly. GAME OVER. Her face goes hot. She wants to throw the controller and quit forever - until Dad sits beside her and says, "Even heroes pause." In... out. The hot face cools. And Friday becomes game night, where Mom steers into every wall and Maya laughs so hard she forgets to play. The third book in The Sunset Basket series by Sammie Hale: about losing, pausing, breathing, and the best level of all - playing together.*
