Trapped in a Video Game: Return to Doom Island

Written by Dustin Brady

Narrated by Kirby Heyborne

12-year-old Jesse Rigsby is sure of two things: Alistair Gregory, the man who figured out how to put people into video games, isn’t what he seems. And someone is watching him. To get answers, Jesse will have to dive back into a video game and transform himself into a superspy to outsmart an android, outlast a drone, and outswim an 8-bit shark. Inside this retro, side-scrolling, blocky world where even basic moves are tricky, the danger is just beginning. Can he pull it off before the bad guys catch on?

Perfect for gamers aged 8-10 and especially reluctant readers, this fast, funny adventure blends humor, puzzles, and nonstop action with the irresistible “what if you could go inside a game?” premise. Whether read on its own or as part 4 of the best-selling Trapped in a Video Game series, Return to Doom Island delivers high stakes, clever twists, and a satisfying next level for series fans.
