Synopsis

In this first book of her series, Courtney is the best gamer at the arcade. But she can’t understand why there aren’t more girl characters in video games.
 
When a school project allows her to create her own video game, the hero is a girl who knows how to handle any situation—something Courtney struggles with in real life. Whether it’s learning to share a room with her stepsister or supporting her mom when she announces she’s running for mayor, Courtney’s blended family has to learn to work together differently. It’s a whole new game for Courtney, and she’s figuring out the rules as she goes.
 
This audiobook includes a historical “Looking Back” section about Courtney’s world in 1986.

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing a list of popular words from the 1980s that are heard throughout the story.

I really loved learning about the new historical doll Courtney Moore! This is a great story for kids (or even adults) to learn about coping with changes in your family or just life. This book really explores how kids live back in the 80s. Wonderful references to video games, MTV, and movies from tha......more
