Something Is Living in Dad's Arcade Game

By Jeremy Kelly

Game over might mean the whole house.

Dad bought a dusty 1983 arcade game at a surplus auction for eleven dollars. Mom did not approve the eleven dollars. Now the TV plays arcade music at midnight, the microwave beeps high-score tunes, and Dad's coffee mug is bouncing across the game screen as a tiny pixel.

Then Mr. Snacks disappears into Level 3. A countdown starts. Jack and John have one weekend to figure out who BNO is, and why something living inside the game has waited since 1989 for a rematch.

Kelly Brothers Rule #1: Never leave your brother behind.

The Kelly Brothers Mysteries are spooky, funny, fast-moving monster mysteries for readers 8-12, told by eleven-year-old Jack Kelly, who investigates with a notebook, a four-year-old brother, and a goldendoodle puppy named Julk. Every case is real. Every monster is real. And every book ends with the brothers still together.
