The Reality Bug by D.J. MacHale



Bobby Pendragon is off to save the world again. This time he's going to a world called Veelox. Veelox's citizens are all in their own perfect realities while the world goes to waste. A friend of Bobby has invented the Reality Bug, a computer program that will make the realities not so likeable. But it malfunctions and Bobby has to figure out the code that should shut down the Bug. Or is Veelox too far gone to be saved?

The Reality Bug: I really liked MacHale's flume idea. The flume is how people travel between worlds. A good thing about Bobby is that he gets things wrong. This is not a Disney movie where everyone lives happily ever after. I also liked that the book was mostly written as a journal. There's a part where Bobby is writing in the journal and then there's another chapter about his friends at home.
