David is obsessed with reaching the next level in his favorite video game. Whether heÍs playing BunnyBot Fighters or Ultimate Rhino Races, heÍs so single-minded in his pursuit of reaching the next level that he turns down invitations from friends to play outside. But one day, his game quits working, and heÍs on ñLevel Sad.î So, with nothing else to do, he reluctantly goes outside to play. ñToday IÍm trying to skateboard. I have to learn to stand on the skateboard while it rolls, without falling off. It feels like IÍm on Level One of a really hard game.î But if he can master staying on the board, his friend Michael will show him how to do turns, and ñthatÍll be like Level Two.î Soon, David is doing turns and is ready to learn how to do jumps! Still unable to play video games, David lets his friend Bianca convince him to try playing basketball. Dribbling is hard, but David wants to level up so heÍll get a new red jersey. Pretty soon, heÍs on Level 12 of skateboarding and Level 8 of basketball, and heÍs ready to try diving and dirt biking. Eventually his video game is fixed, but by then he has discovered that leveling up in real life is more exciting than leveling up on the screen.
