If your kid loves video games but struggles to get excited about reading, the bestselling Trapped in a Video Game series delivers the fast-paced action, humor, and cliffhanger suspense that keeps middle-grade readers turning pages.

In this second Trapped in a Video Game adventure, Jesse Rigsby thought he was done with dangerous games forever. But when his friend Mark disappears inside Go Wild—a wild Pokémon Go–style mobile game—Jesse jumps back in to save him. There’s just one problem: Jesse is invisible.

Now Jesse must survive a school overrun with video-game creatures, including Bigfoot in the library, velociraptors in the bathroom, and a massive fire-breathing bat in the cafeteria. To rescue his friend and escape the game alive, he’ll need courage, quick thinking, and serious gaming skills.
