Five books in one box! With nonstop action, huge plot twists, and tons of humor, this series will quickly have young video game fans begging for just one more chapter.

Five books. One complete set. And a video game that doesn’t want to let you go.

Trapped in a Video Game: The Complete Series collects all five books in Dustin Brady’s bestselling action-adventure series—packed with humor, nonstop twists, and short chapters that keep kids reading “just one more.”

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.
