A boy grows up under his father's No Video Games rules, and buys a Nintendo immediately after his father's death. Video games become all-consuming, and it takes four spritely angels to get him back into school, where he loses himself again. 
 I don't want to say too much and ruin the plot--it's not a very long book--but the video games really propel the story, right through the way the main character deals with the angels following him. It's a story I can see many teens identifying with (a desire to play games against parents' wishes; academic performance vs recreational activity; parental expectations), and while it's cute and funny I don't know that it will stick with me.
