Abner and Ian have a serious problem. They are completely stuck sideways on the pages of their very own book. It is impossible to start a proper story when you are tilted at an awkward angle, especially since Ian gets terribly dizzy and is quite afraid of heights. Luckily, Abner has a brilliant plan, but he needs your help to pull it off. You will need to physically shake, shimmy, and turn the book to get these two friends back on their feet. But watch out, because fixing their sideways situation might require a solution that is the exact opposite of what you expect. Get ready to laugh out loud as you interact directly with the characters in this incredibly funny and clever challenge. It is up to you to save the day and get everyone right side up.

Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems dealing with life at home without throwing his first year of middle school into the mix.

With his best friend Leonardo the Silent keeping score, Rafe is setting out to break every single rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct. The points add up fast. Chewing gum in class earns him five thousand points, running wildly in the hallway is worth ten thousand, and pulling the fire alarm is a massive fifty thousand points. It is the ultimate game of rebellion. But as Rafe's hilarious rule-breaking starts to catch up with him, the stakes get higher. He will have to decide if winning this secret game is all that matters, or if he is finally ready to face the bullies, the rules, and the truths he has been avoiding.
