The Stream Team

Never back down, never give up! Fortnite meets The Avengers in this epically awesome adventure. Thirteen-year-old Teddy Habib and his friends are recruited to join a league of other gamers to save the world from a huge bug that's infecting longtime gamers and beginners alike, from the creative brains of gaming star NickEh30 and New York Times bestselling author E. C. Myers!

Never back down, never give up!

“Teamwork’s the name of the game in this action-packed romp.” – Kirkus Reviews

Thirteen-year-old Teddy Habib dreams of being a pro gamer. He just never expected he'd end up in the big leagues. And no, not the big esports competitions, like NickEh30. Big leagues as in if he doesn't win this game, the world as we know it is doomed.

When a mysterious new game developer unleashes a bug that’s turning everyone into the “Glitched,” the government’s Special Division steps in. They recruit Teddy; his best friend, Stackz; Teddy’s loyal and surprisingly cuddly German shepherd, Rocco; the indomitable TeenyTerrorPlays; and the agile Keke_Klutch to infiltrate the game.

But if the Stream Team fails . . . well, it's GAME OVER.

• Inspired by NickEh30’s gaming community, family-friendly streaming culture, esports aspirations, subscriber chats, gaming slang, online collaboration, and the motto of never giving up are woven into the adventure.
• Communication, map knowledge, pattern recognition, persistence, resource management, and strategic teamwork give the heroes a chance against a threat that follows video-game rules
• Secret agents, alien technology, artificial intelligence, a mission inside a quarantined Cairo, and a final call to Brazil establish a larger continuing adventure
• Features a Dyslexia-friendly font that follows the guidelines laid out by Nothing Comic About Dyslexia. Text format appeals to neurodivergent and neurotypical readers alike
