Adventures in extreme reading

Their Uncle Dan is still missing and Carter and Isabelle are starting to worry, especially after they receive a threatening call from the computer hacker--and he challenges them to match wits with him in Treasure Island.

"Carter Lewis is having trouble making it through "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," so his cousin Isabelle suggests that he use his uncle's virtual reality machine to enter into the book as a character--and meet the Headless Horseman up-close and personal"--Provided by publisher.

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.

Uncle Dan is back, and with him is the beautiful Tempest St. Cloud with a promise of unlimited funding--but Carter's cousin Isabelle is suspicious, and when a demonstration excursion into Great expectations results in zombies and murderers Carter does not know what to think.
