This book was very interesting as there was a set of twins who found out that a controller could control both of them and what they could do each day. I would recommend this book to others

nice book

Really good book for fans of football and video games with a great message about getting out and being active. My favourite part was when the controller ran out of power but Fred didn't know and still scored the winning goal. Ellie was my favourite character because she's into video games like me!

YES I will recommend the book to someone. I like the Eric who was the dad of Fred and Ellie the most, Because he ate so much sandwiches and the more he ate it the more he grew. The book interested me because, the children liked video games so much.

When twins find a controller they use it to help the other twin, but will it help themselves?

I loved it and found it extremely funny. I would recommend this to any child above the age of 6 as some of the words may be difficult to younger children.

I loved this book, it was about twins, a boy and a girl, who loved video games. The dad sat on the girls game controller and when they bought a new one they discovered it controlled people instead.
