Price:
(as of – Details)
Five books in one box! With nonstop action, huge plot twists, and tons of humor, this series will quickly have your 7- to 12-year-old video game fan begging for just one more chapter.
Getting sucked into a video game is not as much fun as you’d think. Sure, there are jetpacks, hover tanks, and infinite lives, but what happens when the game starts to turn on you? In this best-selling series, 12-year-old Jesse Rigsby finds out just how dangerous video games – and the people making those games – can be.
Book One: Trapped in a Video Game
Jesse hates video games – and for good reason. You see, a video game character is trying to kill him. After getting sucked into the new game Full Blast with his best friend, Eric, Jesse quickly discovers that he’s being followed by a mysterious figure. If he doesn’t figure out what’s going on fast, he’ll be trapped for good!
Book Two: The Invisible Invasion
Jesse’s rescue mission has led him into the world of Go Wild, a Pokemon Go-style mobile game full of hidden danger and invisible monsters. Can Jesse stay alive long enough to sneak into the shady video game company and uncover what they’re hiding?
Book Three: Robots Revolt
The robot villains from Super Bot World 3 have been released into the real world, and it’s up to Jesse to get them back. This is Jesse’s most dangerous mission yet, because this time, the video game is real. And in the real world, there are no extra lives.
Book Four: Return to Doom Island
In this retro adventure, Jesse will need to outsmart a superintelligent android, outlast a tireless drone, and outswim an eight-bit shark. If he can somehow pull all that off, Jesse will discover that he hasn’t even gotten to the scary part yet.
Book Five: The Final Boss
Jesse and Eric have 10 minutes to save the world. In those 10 minutes, they’re supposed to dive into a massive video game universe, track down an all-powerful madman, and stop his evil plan before it’s too late. Sound impossible? It’s super impossible. The clock is ticking.

Reading is important!
I used to live in Wisconsin and permanently moved a year ago to Florida. I’m very close to my grandson and he always liked me to read to him when we lived closer. It started out when he was a toddler and he’s almost a teenager now. We worked it out and I read to him almost every night OVER THE PHONE!!! This set of books is fabulous! It’s about kids trapped in a video game! Now what preteen boy doesn’t like video games??? The stories are very creative and keeps your attention. And the best thing about the books are…I love reading them and want to keep reading the story to find out what the kids do to get out of different situations but my grandson is lulled asleep by my reading and I know I have to stop so he won’t miss out on the books ❤️

Best books for preteens!
These books are awesome if you have a struggling reader that loves video games. My 12 year old grandson loves these books. Best part is he loves to read them with me. We just finished the 2nd book and will start the 3rd after Thanksgiving. I know there is another book set called Escaping the video game written by the same person. I’m hoping he continues to write because I have spent many years trying to find a book my grandson loves and I finally found it.

Favorite birthday gift!
My grandson is an avid reader. When I asked him what books I could purchase for him, these were his choice. Well, they must be pretty good because he finished them in less than two weeks. And, he’d like the next set. I’m all about kids reading and this series is a hit with him. He was more eager to start reading the first book than play with other toys he received for his birthday!

Great books
My son loved these books! He’s 7 in second grade. It took him about 3 months of reading them to complete this set, and he’s looking forward to the next set! My only complaint was the set came with an envelope to be opened once he read through the set, and he was SO EXCITED to finally get into it, and the site it brings you to appears to not work anymore so he was super bummed, because he’s been guessing what it could be for quite a while.

These books are a great read. You and your kid won’t want to put them down.
Our 7 year old got this series for Christmas. The box set sat off to the side for a month or so (while we finished a couple other books) before we finally started the first book. After that, the only time we stopped was when it got a little too intense for our somewhat sensitive kiddo. But he always quickly came back to it.This definitely is not a series for a 7 year old to read alone. We read most of it to him. He could read some of it to us though, but needed help with a lot of words. I’m actually not quite sure what reading level these books are, but I feel quite sure it is above first grade.These books are very well written. Just about every chapter ends with a cliffhanger that had our son asking us to keep reading. So we would continue and end up stopping after a page or two into the next chapter–just to find a stopping point that had resolution from the previous conflict but before the next happened. My husband and I trade off reading every other night with our son, but the other would often either sit and listen or ask the other what happened.We just finished the last book in the series after a two-hour reading marathon… WITH A SEVEN YEAR OLD! I’m so thankful that we found this series and we can’t wait to start the next one. I’ll also add that my husband can’t believe this hasn’t been picked up for a movie or animated series. I agree, but I’m sort of glad it didn’t before we had the chance to read it.I’m sure Mr. Dustin Brady will be getting an email from our kiddo soon.
