SOLVED. Children's series about Teleporting into Book being read. [s]

[Shaq]

Please help me find this book, its driving me crazy.

Its a children's book series I read nearly 15 years ago.

Its about a boy who doesnt really like reading but has been given an assignment to write a book review, and so he goes to his school library to get the book, and possibly in the storage room, he comes across a broken down book scanner of sorts, and he (possibly along with a female friend of his) discovers that once a book goes through the scanner, it creates a portal that sucks him and his friend into the book, and the only way out is by finishing the book. (Usually along with a timeline)

If memory serves well, and it actually doesnt, I believe one of the books in the series is where they enter the book Around the World in Eighty Days.

Target Audience is meant for Young Teenagers just getting into reading I suppose. At least thats when I read it, but I dont know, nowadays people start reading at a much younger age possibly.

Also if it helps:
Its NOT:
- The Pagemaster
- Land of Stories
- The Magic Tree House

Possibly, the "Cracked Classics" books?

One of the books the kids enter is "Around the World in Eighty Days."What a Trip! Around the World in Eighty Days

Do you remember the cover?

Omg. you are simply amazing.
Thank you so very much for clarifying this for me.

I was losing my mind going through rabbit holes trying to find this book again.

I am legit impressed how quickly I got my answer given how long I had been looking for this book.

Glad you found your series, Shaq. Here's the first book of Tab's find - Trapped in Transylvania: Dracula by Tony Abbott.
