Jess, Celia, Nat, and Lucy are the Gamer Girls-four BFFs who game together. In this fourth book of the exciting series, the friends discover a new game at a local arcade, Dance Dance Rhythms.

This is the fourth book in the popular Gamer Girls series, for fans of The Babysitter's Club AND Pokemon!

Jess never thought she'd be a gamer. The posters in her bedroom are dedicated to Naomi Osaka and Misty Copeland, not video game streamers. But ever since joining the Gamer Girls squad, Jess has learned a TON about video games.
One evening, Jess discovers something wonderful . . . sitting in her parents' guest room is a brand-new, sealed Dance Dance Rhythms game from the '90s! What's more, if she trades it in at the local game store, she can get a NEW game. But trading it might not have been the best idea . . . and Jess might have to risk it all in order to get it back.
Can Jess keep going at her fast pace, or will she need a new rhythm?
In this fourth book of the popular Gamer Girls series, four friends navigate the video game world and the middle school world . . . if only they could solve drama as easily as they defeat monsters!

This series is perfect for readers who love video games. Retro Rhythms includes 30 black-and-white illustrations throughout.
