ve this first installment of the 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 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!

With black-and-white illustrations throughout and a cliff hanger at the end of every chapter, this is a great series for kids who think they don't like to read!
