I really enjoy the representation of a dyslexic main character (something I haven't seen in a book outside of Percy Jackson). I think it's incredibly powerful for middle grade readers to see diverse characters and characters with learning disabilities represented in the books they read. I loved the art style and the colors. This was a vibrant, fun middle grade story!

As usual, I am in love with DC's middle grade graphic novels! The art is fun, but I especially love the fact that Hansen worked with his son to create a main character who struggles with dyslexia. So many kids need to see people with dyslexia succeed, and "My Video Game Ate My Homework" knocks it out of the park in how they handle it! Kids who are super into Minecraft are going to eat this book up, though any kid who enjoys video games at all is going to enjoy it as well.

Funny and light, perfect for the comic book lover, the gamer, or the reluctant reader. I have several video game obsessed boys in my family I'll be buying this title for.

Fun graphic novel about a high-tech video game that captures a science project and the four kids who transform into video game characters to retrieve it. Dewey, Kat, Ferg, and Bee are a great example of teamwork, and the fact that Dewy has dyslexia gives the story added depth.

Guess whose pre-ordering this book for her nephew? This person right here.
My Video Game Ate My Homework is an adorable graphic novel about Dewey attempting to make the best science project possible to avoid having to go to summer school. He can create amazing things, but numbers and reading throw him off. His dyslexia affecting his life in ways that make it hard for him to explain to his twin sister whose not affected in the same way.
When a virtual reality game eats his science experiment it’ll take team work and really good friends to help Dewey come out on the other side.
This comic is amazing and fun and sweet and I hope really good things for this story because it’s one of those stories that needs to be told.
