Description

Its 1993 and fifteen-year-old Brady Bensons life is about to change forever. Brady relieves the stress of a highly academic school environment by indulging in his favorite pastimes: sports, movies, and video games. Inexplicably, Bradys video game playing begins controlling the real sporting events! Brady and buddy Tim, nicknamed Bee-Bee and the Chief, decide to fulfill a desire to be rich by gambling. Initially, all goes well, but soon the situation turns sour. The real sports world is topsy-turvy, but worse, the Mafia is after Brady because ineffective player bribes are causing them to teeter on the brink of bankruptcy. Bee-Bee and the Chief grope for the reason behind the dilemma. Could it be God, a black magic spell, or science? A call from Dan Patrick of ESPN gives Brady the opportunity to appear on national TV to play the Notre Dame vs. Florida State game on his Sega Genesis, but the Mafia also knows hell be there.If this isnt enough, Bradys mother is pressuring him to rewrite a composition to improve his grade, but he cant concentrate! While ducking the Mafia, can Brady get Michael Jordan out of baseball and stop NASCAR from racing at the Indy 500? Readers will delight seeing an insecure teenager become a wheeler-dealer, and movie buffs will enjoy the chapter titles which are quotes from or titles of movies.
