But they soon find out that because she played on the hardest level she had not finished it. And soon they are working through the game that Sam had been plying. He has been captured by Robots and though Jesse intends to go after him alone, Mark and Sam follow him into the fray. In this volume Eric is the one needing rescue. And their new friend Sam a gamer from down under.

They have rescued their friend Mark from a game, and possible death. His best friend is Eric Conrad loves games and cannot wait to play the latest and greatest. Jesse Rigsby really does not like video games. But in this one instead of being inside the video games, the video game has escaped into the real world. This is a story about friendship, about video games, and about survival. The story was first self published in 2016, then picked up and published in 2018 by Andrews McMeel Publishing. It just means we can read them back to back. We are a little late to the game, in that the whole series has already been released. This is the third installment in a five-book series.

And because of that it got a solid 5/5 stars from both of us. Any book that inspires my son to keep reading when the timer goes off is a big winner in my opinion. He often reads well beyond the minimum 20 minutes a day, when reading this series, because he wants to finish the chapter, or find out what happens next. My son read this to me as part of his daily reading. He reads to me from his iPod and I follow on my iPhone. My son was enjoying them so much we picked up the whole series. We picked up the eBook as soon as we were home, and my son devoured it. They read every night before bed and he was hooked after the first few chapters. We picked up the first book in this series, Trapped in a Video Game, after my son started reading it with his cousins. And with each volume the series gets better. We have now read three books in this excellent series.
