About ‘Prank Wars: Game On’, written by Louise Park and Mo Johnson, illustrated by Jules Faber
Hannah and Jake Vann-Wong live in the wackiest house on Caper Street, and life at number 9 is a blast – until the day a sold sign goes up on the house across the road.
When the Cruellys move in, stuff begins to happen – funny stuff, weird stuff, and stuff that isn’t funny at all.It’s time to learn the Vann-Wong family’s ancient secrets, unlock the vault and access special powers handed down from generation to generation to stop them.
A transforming dog, a sister struggling to master shape-shifting, and a pile of gear with no instructions – what could possibly go wrong?
