Trapped in a Video Game (Volume 1)

Kids who love video games will love this first installment of the best-selling 5-book series about 12-year-old Jesse Rigsby and the wild adventures he encounters while trapped inside different video games.

Jesse Rigsby 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 friend Eric, Jesse starts to see the appeal of vaporizing man-size praying mantis while cruising around by jet pack. But pretty soon, a mysterious figure begins following Eric and Jesse, and they discover they can't leave the game. If they don't figure out what's going on fast, they'll be trapped for good!
