The Pixel Portal (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798899132582)

When ten-year-old Max Power discovers a mysterious, pixelated key glowing in his grandpa's garage, he's suddenly transported to Arcadia--where video games come to life! Max must figure out how his favorite games are connected to this strange dimension. As he searches for answers, Max uncovers hints that his grandpa knows far more about Arcadia than he let on. But there's no time to dwell on secrets, because a monster called the Glitch is hunting down the keys that keep Arcadia stable. To save both worlds, Max must level up fast, forging new alliances and discovering the true power hidden within himself.
