Description

In the middle-grade series Monsters Unleased, Bex and Charlie are obsessed with the virtual-reality mobile game where players catch monsters on their cellphones. Their adventure takes a wild turn when they discover a strange machine in Charlie's grandfather's attic that brings the game's monsters to life in the real world. The friends must race to recapture the creatures before chaos ensues. How would you react if your favorite virtual-reality game suddenly became real? In this action-packed series, which is a blend of 'Pokemon GO' and 'The Goonies', Bex and Charlie's favorite game, Monsters Unleashed, takes a dramatic twist. While exploring Charlie's grandfather's attic, they find a mysterious machine. Accidentally activating it, they face the consequence of losing WiFi connection and all the virtual monsters from Bex's phone escaping into the real world. Now, it's up to them to capture all the beasts before they wreak havoc in the town.
