Phoenix and River Bear

Phoenix and River Bear: LEVEL UP!

by Tabitha Huff-Pfeifer

What if your favorite video game became real?

When Phoenix sits down to play one last level, he never expects the screen to pull him-and his loyal golden retriever, River Bear-straight into the game. Suddenly, they're trapped inside a glowing world of floating platforms, disappearing ground, and dangerous choices.

To escape, Phoenix and River Bear must clear the levels, protect their limited hearts, and face a mysterious force known as the Game Master. But this isn't a game you win with speed or points. Some rewards come with hidden risks. Some paths promise safety-but lead nowhere at all.

As the rules begin to change, Phoenix learns that real courage isn't about playing perfectly.

It's about choosing each other.

Phoenix and River Bear: LEVEL UP! is a heart-filled illustrated chapter book about bravery, teamwork, and trusting the ones who stand beside you-especially when the game gets hard.

Perfect for readers ages 8-10
