FGTeeV: Out of Time!

The FGTeeV family (Duddy, Moomy, and the kids) accidentally triggers a faulty time machine. They are transported to various settings, including prehistoric times and the future, while being pursued by an antagonist who wants to trap them. The narrative relies on slapstick humor, gaming references, and quick-thinking to resolve conflicts. SENSITIVE TOPICS: The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. There are no heavy themes like death or divorce. Peril is cartoonish and resolved through teamwork. EMOTIONAL ARC: The arc is consistent and high-energy. It begins with chaotic excitement and maintains a sense of frantic fun throughout, concluding with a celebratory sense of family togetherness. IDEAL READER: A 9-year-old who watches FGTeeV on YouTube and views reading as a chore. This child needs a book that mirrors the rhythm of a fast-paced video or game to feel successful as a reader. PARENT TRIGGER: A parent might notice their child is only interested in screens and refuses to pick up a 'standard' chapter book. This is the 'compromise' book that gets the child reading. PARENT PREP: This can be read cold. Parents should be prepared for 'potty humor' and exaggerated cartoon violence that is standard for the FGTeeV brand. AGE EXPERIENCE: Younger children (ages 7-8) will focus on the bright illustrations and physical comedy. Older children (ages 10-12) will appreciate the meta-humor and gaming tropes. DIFFERENTIATOR: It leverages a massive existing digital brand to lower the barrier to entry for reading, using a graphic narrative format that specifically mimics the frantic editing style of modern online content.
