GPS65: Purchased for an 8-year-old who hates reading/being read to. He loves this books. Lots of giggles and immediately ready to sit down for the next chapter.

Mike: My son (age 7 1/2) thought this book was really cool. We read a little bit at bedtime every night until it was finished. He never wanted me to stop reading and would get bummed when I told him it was time for lights-out.

SF: Very fun book. The graphics were really nice. I like how they made the book setting a fantastic video game with great characters. My favorite character was Jessie.

Court: My son is 9 and enjoys video games so I wanted a book that would keep him interested because we try to read almost every night. Him and I read it together and honestly I'm enjoying it myself. Each chapter keeps you wanting to read more even though we stick to one chapter a night. Very happy with this purchase and so is my son. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Picky Mom: Unfortunately my son didn’t enjoy this. Gave it a 3 in the event he didn’t give it a good enough try. (My son is 11. He does well in school but isn’t a big reader outside of assigned books. He loved the Whimpy Kids series and Tom Gates however. )

Pop Bop: Sly, Funny, and Action-Packed

This is the first book in the planned five book series. Each book slips our heroes into a different perilous video game, so they work almost as standalones. But there's also an overall mystery/thriller arc, and it looks like that will get wrapped up in book five. (Each book concludes its individual story, but leaves behind a cliff hanger that leads to the next book and relates to the overall arc.)

The general idea is that an evil supervillain has an evil supervillainous plan, and our guys keep getting in his way. This time around they escape his clutches by dropping into a blocky, retro, 80's, side scrolling, island adventure game. They have to survive and then get out, while avoiding a robot assassin who has followed them into the game and then surviving the villain's attempts to erase them when they do get out.

Here's the thing. This is one of the funnest sets of heroes I've encountered in some time, and this is one of the smartest MG action/adventure tales I've read, ever. Our heroes are the quiet and shy kid, Charlie, (whose genius programmer dad is being held hostage by the villain), the sort of goofy and obtuse comic relief...
