Doesnt beat his VR games, but he never complains about reading a chapter in these books. He does all the sound effects when they come up in the text. He follows the games descriptions way better than I do. We will be buying all the future editions.

The only series that my above-level reader has enjoyed & devoured so far!
This is the first series that my 8-year-old son was even willing to read. I write grants for nonprofits that promote literacy and fight against aliteracy, and I'm a former English teacher, too, so it was hard on me to see that one of my own kids was a reluctant reader--even though he reads several grade levels ahead. I am SO THANKFUL that we discovered this series and this author. He received the first three books for Christmas and read them all before New Year's Eve hit. He got the 4th book in his Easter basket and had already finished it by breakfast the next morning. It makes me incredibly happy to see my child so enthralled with a book series! He doesn't want the series to end--and neither do I! :) Please keep writing more!!!!

Funny - got my reluctant reader to read
You gotta get this book if you're a fan of this series. My son actually was begging for all of these books because he found them so funny.

2nd to the last
We are almost done with the series. The kids are digging it but they felt really sad in one point. Spoiler: a little toddler gets thrown into a game. It made everyone feel really emotional. But the story moves fast enough that we got some closure. On to the next one!
