Trapped in a Video Game: the Complete Series

Getting sucked into a video game sounds awesome (jetpacks! hover tanks! infinite lives!)… until the game starts turning on you. In this series, 12-year-old Jesse Rigsby and his best friend Eric discover just how dangerous video games—and the people making them—can be. This set includes all five adventures: - Book One: Trapped in a Video Game — Jesse and Eric enter Full Blast and realize someone (or something) inside the game is hunting Jesse - Book Two: The Invisible Invasion — A monster-filled mobile game leads to a risky mission and a shady company with secrets - Book Three: Robots Revolt — Video game robots escape into the real world, where there are no extra lives - Book Four: Return to Doom Island — A retro survival run with drones, androids, and an eight-bit shark - Book Five: The Final Boss — A 10-minute countdown to save the world from an all-powerful villain’s plan Who it’s for: - Kids who love video games—and parents looking for books that match that passion - Reluctant readers who need a funny, fast-moving series with manageable chapters - Families who want an addictive read-aloud for ages 8–10 (and many readers beyond, depending on level) What makes it different: - Action and comedy on every page—without leaning into heavy, dark themes - A “More to Explore” section in each book with kid-friendly programming concepts (like binary code and algorithms) Outcomes readers and parents mention: - Kids stay engaged, keep turning pages, and build reading confidence - A go-to series for bedtime reading, classroom libraries, and “screen break” moments If you’re shopping for a can’t-miss gift for a young gamer—or a set that finally gets a kid excited about reading—grab Trapped in a Video Game: The Complete Series and jump in from Book One.
