These are short and very exciting stories, especially the first one, great fun especially for those who love computer games but who don't normally find much in books to keep them going. Zak has exhausted computer games and searches for the ultimate game. The Boffin lends it to him and in the course of the three levels over three days Zak learns how to deal with conflict - each day he puts his game knowledge into practice in real situations. By the end the Boffin has taught him that the ultimate game is actually all around him. The other book feeding off the formula is less satisfying but still effective.
