About the Book



Alistair Gregory, the man who figured out how to put people into video games, is not what he seems. Jesse Rigsby is sure of that. Jesse's sure of something else, too--he's being watched. To unravel the mystery, Jesse's going to have to transform himself into a super spy with serious retro gaming skills. Illustrations.



Book Synopsis



What if your favorite retro video game became a real-life survival mission? This fourth book in the bestselling Trapped in a Video Game series combines spy thrills, retro gaming action, puzzles, and nonstop suspense in an adventure designed to keep middle-grade readers hooked.

Jesse knows something isn't right about Alistair Gregory--the man who invented the technology that traps people inside video games. He's also pretty sure someone is watching him. To uncover the truth, Jesse must dive back into a dangerous retro-style game world and become a superspy capable of surviving deadly challenges, escaping drones, outsmarting androids, and navigating an 8-bit island where even simple moves can turn into disasters.

Inside this side-scrolling video game world, danger waits around every corner. And if Jesse makes one wrong move, he may not make it back out.
