desertcart.com: Trapped in a Video Game: The Invisible Invasion (Volume 2): 9781449494896: Brady, Dustin, Brady, Jesse: Books Review: 7 year old and his dad both love it!! - My 7 year old son and I are writing this review together. We read about 2 chapters each night before bed and we loved this book! It follows right after the amazing book #1 and has more of a Pokémon Go storyline that he really seemed to understand. His favorite line is in chapter four, when Jesse says “OKso I was basically Elsa from frozen!” He laughed so hard he fell off the bed! There aren’t many books that are as funny as this one for a kid while also being enjoyable to read as the adult! We’re on to book 3! Review: A Sasquatch, a velociraptor, and feral Tribbles… Pokemon Go-style - This sequel describes what happened to sixth-grader Jesse, the narrator of the original title to this series, right where that story left off. As before, this is a text novel, seasoned with just a few illustrations. Once again, Jesse has found himself in the eponymous dilemma. Yet I must commend the author for the variation he came up with this time, which pays obvious homage to what was, at one point, a wildly popular augmented-reality game. Three other characters from the prior volume have returned, including one whose fate was left up in the air in Book One, and it was satisfying for me to find Jesse and his companions seeking to resolve that character's predicament. This volume is relatively brief, action-packed (seemingly more so than the first book), suspenseful, funny, and meant to appeal to late-year elementary-school readers. No need for excessive detail or exact logic; I could fill those in for myself whenever I felt the need arise. The aim is to just have fun with the story. While there was no gross-out element as in the original, one scenario involving a credit card no doubt proved awkward for one character -- a bizarrely inventive look at what immersion into virtual reality makes possible. The end turned out to be far more a cliffhanger on this occasion.

Great read aloud for all ages
We loved this series! After book 1, we were hooked! My children’s ages range from 10-4 and they all enjoyed this book. We had to read on at the end of each chapter to find out what happened next. Great books!

My 8 year old loves this
We were really struggling to find something my 8 year old boy would like. All our favorites weren't working for him and he kept telling everyone he hates reading. :( But he is reading this series everyday and actually laughing and sharing about it to his grandparents. Thanks for saving the day! His reading has improved after reading aloud for thirty minutes a day. We're on the third book in the series now. Even his teachers noted the improvement and had him share about the books to his classmates to get them excited about reading too.

very enjoyable
I really enjoyed this book. I just finished this book and I love it. The combination of humor and fantasy is wonderful. The book is fast paced and and creative. This is a book for all ages. coming off the 1st book I really didn't know how the author was going to top it.But He managed it. Me and my family are reading the series right and can't wait to get to the next one.

So glad I bought these!
My son LOVES these books! He's 7, going into the second grade next month, and is a great reader in general. He loves these books and has just about finished the series. He reads about 3/4 chapters in 20 minutes so he's finished each book in just a couple sittings but he's even reread parts whole waiting for the next to be delivered. I definitely recommend for young readers!

Great Book
Bought this book for my son who hates reading so finding material he like seem impossible at times. I'm proud to say my son has read all three volumes of Trapped in a Video game. Everyday when i get home from work he explain the story and wants me to buy more of them. I will definitely buy more books from this author.
