"Yeah, Dude, there's a whole world out there, too. When's the last time you left his room?"Squish gets $50 for his birthday and decides to buy a new video game. But suddenly, nothing is more important to him than getting to the next level of the game: not friends, not family, not school work, not even his favorite comic, Super Amoeba. That's when things start to go wrong for Squish. And finally, just like his hero Super Amoeba, he realizes that he's gotten "a little obsessed" and starts to make up for lost time.A good message for students about maintaining balance in life and setting good priorities. Squish becomes obsessed with video games and neglects his other interests and responsibilities with negative consequences.I love the way Squish's troubles are always mirrored in the trials of his favorite superhero comics. This volume is extra wonderful because the authors write themselves a cameo appearance.Excellent series for fans of Babymouse, Lunch Lady, Captain Underpants, and the Flying Beaver Brothers. Grades 3-5.
