Blinky's Island
Bok av Cheryl Bealer-Wynton
A boy finds a video game whose main character, Blinky, comes to life. The boy and Blinky try to save a princess from a dragon while they deal with teachers, parents and a cranky old man who wants to destroy all video game characters. The author, Cheryl Bealer-Wynton, is an elementary school teacher with two young sons. She wrote the book as a way to get her oldest son to turn off video games and pick up a book. It worked! He helped with revising and editing the book.
