The Blardeens

Reading this book is by far the best thing you can do on a snow day when the internet's out and you're trapped inside.

"So you shot them with a video game console?" Kait asked, one eye raised in incredulity, the other watching the router for signs of internet life. 

Dad laughed. "I was surrounded by Space Pirates! What would you have done?"

Shooting consoles, Space Pirates, classic game references, and work that just doesn't get done when Mom's not around. The Blardeens is an exciting, hilarious mix between Fortunately, The Milk and Ready Player One.
