Scratch, the family dog, wants to play with someone but everyone is busy with their electronics. When the power goes out, the family bans together and plays an old family game that involves charades and other clue giving elements.
I really liked the mid century modern style of the book and it has an appropriate message about fun existing out of electronics that can sometimes disconnect us. I thought the very specific game it took to have fun was a little narrow and even cheesy.
