Trapped in a Video Game: Robots Revolt Volume 3

What happens when video game villains escape into the real world? In this third book in the bestselling Trapped in a Video Game middle grade series, Jesse Rigsby faces his most dangerous mission yet… because this time there are no extra lives.

Perfect for kids who love video games, robots, humor, and nonstop action, Trapped in a Video Game: Robots Revolt delivers fast-paced adventure designed to keep middle-grade readers hooked from chapter one.

After accidentally releasing the evil robot villains from Super Bot World 3 into the real world, Jesse must stop them before someone gets hurt. Normally, he’d rely on his best friend Eric to help save the day—but Eric has disappeared.

To find him, Jesse must survive collapsing mine carts, sewer piranhas, mysterious agents, giant robotic enemies, and a towering hundred-foot robot named Goliatron. But defeating video game villains outside the game may be harder than Jesse ever imagined.

Filled with illustrations, cliffhanger chapters, and laugh-out-loud moments, this action-packed adventure blends science fiction, gaming culture, and middle-grade humor into a reading experience kids won’t want to put down.
