Carter Lewis's Uncle Dan has invented a suit that creates a virtual reality world so that the person experiences and interacts with a book as if he were actually there--but when Carter and his cousin Isabelle put on the suits they discover that a hacker is playing games with them.

"Uncle Dan Hunter is taking his virtual reality program public, and thirteen-year old Carter and his cousin Isabelle are helping him demonstrate the suits at a children's bookstore--but when a blackout fuses "Wind in the Willows" with "Peter Pan," Carter has to battle pirates and weasels to rescue the two children trapped in the suits"--Provided by publisher.

Until now Uncle Dan has only used classic books in his program, so being commissioned to turn a new manuscript into a virtual reality world sounds exciting--but while they are testing the program, Isabelle realizes that the book is plagiarized from The purloined letter, and it is up to Carter to teach the author a lesson.
