Jesse Rigsby hates video games - and for good reason. You see, a video game character is trying to kill him. After getting sucked in 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! Fun, relevant, and action-packed Trapped in a Video Game is the perfect book to get kids off screens and into books!

Review: 7 Year old LOVES this book and now WANTS to read all the time!! - I love this book because my son who is 7.5 years old is always asking to read because this book really connected with his interests! The plot, storyline and characters are good and make the book what it is! Book is an easy read with enough spacing for beginning readers. It has chapters too which is nice because we can take turning reading the pages and chapters together! Each night we read a chapter or two together and I like that we not only get to spend quality time reading this fantastic book together but also can talk about and be excited for the next chapter and the rest of the books in the series/volume! There are some pictures black/white but the author does an incredible job creating a detailed vision of the story! Highly recommend! Review: Super Fun Story and a Wonderful Author - I run a small book club for my grandson, nephews and some of their friends. All the boys are 8 or 9 and this was the first book they chose. They also all love video games. The book is action packed and the dialogue is hilarious. There are even some fun (non-video) games in the back of the book. The boys loved the action and the characters and most of them have read book two and even book three. (I sure want to!) After we read the book, I reached out to Mr. Brady to see if he would join us for a meeting (we meet by Zoom). He responded quickly and joined us on Nov. 1. He was FANTASTIC! He was so kind to all the boys, talking to each of them in turn and making sure they all had a chance to have their questions answered. He talked about how he came up with the idea for the book and how he got it published. He talked about what he liked to read when he was their age and even gave advice to one budding storyteller. We're hoping he makes an appearance near us soon so we can all meet him in person. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,354 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #7 in Children's Action & Adventure Sci-Fi Books #10 in Computers & Internet Humor #11 in Children's Boys & Men Books | ## Images ![Trapped in a Video Game (Volume 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817egBmYP+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7 Year old LOVES this book and now WANTS to read all the time!! *by K***E on September 18, 2024* I love this book because my son who is 7.5 years old is always asking to read because this book really connected with his interests!

Each book slips our heroes into a different perilous video game, so they work almost as standalones. But there's also an overall mystery/thriller arc, and it looks like that will get wrapped up in book five. (Each book concludes its individual story, but leaves behind a cliff hanger that leads to the next book and relates to the overall arc.) The general idea is that an evil supervillain has an evil supervillainous plan, and our guys keep getting in his way. This time around they escape his clutches by dropping into a blocky, retro, 80's, side scrolling, island adventure game. They have to survive and then get out, while avoiding a robot assassin who has followed them into the game and then surviving the villain's attempts to erase them when they do get out. Here's the thing. This is one of the funnest sets of heroes I've encountered in some time, and this is one of the smartest MG action/adventure tales I've read, ever. Our heroes are the quiet and shy kid, Charlie, (whose genius programmer dad is being held hostage by the villain), the sort of goofy and obtuse comic relief kid, Eric, and our first person narrator, the regular type kid, Jesse. Jesse is the heart and soul of the book, and he is an appealing mix of resourceful, antic, funny, observant, deadpan and puckish. His narrative voice, alternately dry and then manic, sells the premise and the story and keeps the reader engaged. I mean, I could totally see him being my best friend. Eric is both a bit dim and totally psyched, and so offers a nice balance to Jesse. But above and beyond that, the book is loaded with sly humor and with inside 80's gamer jokes. For example, at one point the villain starts monologuing about his devious plan for world domination. Eric keeps egging on the villain with inane questions. Jesse keeps trying to get Eric to be quiet because absolutely everybody knows that once the villain has disclosed his plan he has to eliminate the people he just told it to. But Jesse is also torn because the plan really is sort of especially evil and Jesse is sort of curious. Now that strikes me as a pretty knowing joke on the whole structure of action/adventure thrillers, and I would expect a middle grade reader to get that joke and be pretty pleased to get that joke. That's what I mean about the book being "smart". It's entertaining but it also brings the reader into the fun of reading this kind of stuff, (without ever mocking the genre). And the whole book has that kind of generous, knowing, upbeat, Boy's Own, vibe. So, while the premise looked a little gimmicky at the outset, it really was handled very well, and the book delivered a ripping and amusing adventure in the company of some fine heroes. A nice find. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/99850065-trapped-in-a-video-game-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/99850065-trapped-in-a-video-game-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
