We are about to embark on ‘Level 17’ of the Press Start! Super Rabbit Boy series. We’ve journeyed through boss levels, alternate realities and battled all manner of bad guys, and now we proudly present... The Super Jump Between Worlds.
This series by Thomas Flintham has gone from strength to strength referencing current gaming trends and old school platform games, while at the same time embracing themes of friendship and inclusion.
Branches, aimed at newly independent readers is part of Scholastic's early chapter book line. With easy-to-read text, high-interest content, fast-paced plots, and full colour illustrations on every page, these books will boost reading confidence and stamina to help readers grow!
With bold, bright illustrations simulating the pixilation of retro games this series is written and illustrated throughout by Thomas Flintham who is through and through a passionate fan of computer games, board games, puzzles and more.
Tom says,
"For me ‘PRESS START!’ is the culmination of a life spent playing games, drawing comics, doodling characters and thinking up stories. It’s a genuine and heartfelt celebration of video games that I hope resonates with game loving readers. That might encourage them to take a break, pause their game for a moment and grab a book. I hope it’s funny, exciting and silly enough to entertain non gamers too. Maybe it could inspire them to grab a controller and press start, beginning a new gaming adventure that will entertain and inspire them for a lifetime too!"
Here is a bit more about the latest instalment…
