Perfect for kids who love video games, escape rooms, and choose-your-own-adventure stories, the Escape from a Video Game middle grade series transforms reading into a thrilling screen-free gaming experience.
What if you could actually play a video game inside a book?
In Escape from a Video Game: The Secret of Phantom Island, YOU control the action in an interactive middle-grade adventure packed with puzzles, hidden clues, dangerous choices, and more than 30 possible endings.
You are Cooper Hawke, a treasure hunter exploring the legendary Phantom Island—a mysterious game world that was never officially released. As you battle giant creatures, escape deadly traps, solve puzzles, and uncover secret areas of the island, every decision you make changes the story.

With branching storylines, hidden achievements, and unlockable bonus content, Escape from a Video Game delivers hours of replayable adventure while encouraging problem-solving, critical thinking, and independent reading.
