Description
Everyday objects will never seem the same again for Max and Liam as they try to beat the game, and each other.
Gaming-obsessed Max and his infuriating younger brother, Liam, are forced to work together to survive epic adventures on a miniscule scale. When rebellious Liam starts playing ‘Shrinkle’ on his babysitter's phone, he has no idea what he’s letting himself in for.
The app shrinks the brothers to the size of a minifigure! Their safe home has suddenly become a treacherous landscape. Can they scale sofa mountain, escape Miss McBoob's snoring mouth and outsmart the now-enormous pet cat? And will they stay tiny forever?
Review
Max loves playing computer games, but his younger brother Liam is always playing pranks and he infuriates Max.
When Mum confiscates all of the boys’ electronic devices just before she goes out, Liam takes their babysitter’s phone and starts playing Shrinkle.
Suddenly the two warring brothers find themselves the size of a minifigure! And now their house, their two-year-old baby sister, and their cat are all enormous and dangerous….
Can the boys work together to figure out this game and get back to normal size, or are they doomed to stay tiny forever?
This is a fast-paced and funny gaming adventure, set in a normal house that is suddenly not normal at all when you are shrunk to a miniature size! Readers will love Max and Liam, and there are lots of laugh out loud moments amid the craziness of this game.
Perfect for all students Year 4 and up, particularly reluctant readers.
