Aiken, Alastair Ali-A Adventures: Game On, 50 pgs. Penguin Random House,
2017. $20. Language: G ; Mature Content: G; Violence: G
Ali is attending the unveiling of a new video game, along with his girlfriend and his loyal dog. When reality turns into the game, Ali must use his gaming skills to rescue thralls, defeat robots, unlock upgrades, and rescue his girlfriend. Luckily his dog has some upgrades too, including talking, and it helps to have a pet when gaming. Will Ali be able to save the entire world before he runs out of lives? Large colorful graphic novel illustrations.
This
graphic novel has top notch illustrations, they are everything you want in a graphic novel. I think readers
will enjoy the story of a video game come to life. Fans of the Ali-A youtube
channel would be thrilled. But there are just some books I think people have
written or write for themselves, this is one of those. It’s a bucket list item come to
life for Ali-A, as his real life girlfriend and even his dog are immortalized
in graphic novel format. It feels like I am reading something that should have
been kept personal. Unless you’re a fan, this book would be better off on his
own coffee table.
