Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this class, we will read Trapped in a Video Game (Book 1) by Dustin Brady. This book is amazing think Game Over meets The Matrix in this high-energy, sci-fi adventure! Jesse Rigsby has always hated video games—until one fateful day, when he and his friend Eric get sucked into the new game Full Blast. What begins as a thrilling ride through a world filled with explosive action and giant, man-eating praying mantises quickly turns into a nightmare.

A mysterious figure seems to be stalking Jesse and Eric, and soon, the two friends discover a terrifying truth: they’re trapped inside the game and can't escape. As the danger escalates, Jesse must use all his wits and courage to figure out how to break the game’s deadly hold before it’s too late.

Can Jesse survive long enough to outsmart the game’s sinister forces, or will he and Eric be trapped in the virtual world forever? With a high-octane plot, unexpected twists, and plenty of pulse-pounding moments, this game is not over until it’s really over.

Perfect for fans of action-packed video game adventures, Full Blast will have you questioning what's real and what's not—and whether Jesse can win the ultimate battle...against the game itself!

This class will be very open for discussion! Questions will be posted weekly and students should come prepared to discuss. The teacher will focus in on a reading strategy and students will grow in their reading. Respect, fun and laughter is a must! Reading can and should be a blast.
