The story
Idareyou loves to dare his friends into silly stunts, but he feels awful when a dare helps send Jealousina away. So he puts on her sunglasses, wishes she would come home, and shrinks right out of Goop World.
He lands under the same pinball machine in Budapest, gets launched by the plunger, and pops up inside a handheld video game, face to face with a samurai who wants a duel.
The real place: Budapest
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
