What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this as a 3rd or 4th grader in 2002-2004. The book had a virtual grid hardcover with, I believe, a computer and a boy getting sucked into it. The story is about a boy who receives a message on his computer and talks back to the voice. After a while, somehow they switch spots; the boy is trys to get out of the computer to capture his life back. One of my favorite reads, but I can not find it anywhere, especially now with 'virus' everywhere. I would love some help on finding the book to buy for home.

Ryan, please add more plot details to the header/ topic title. You can copy from what you've already written in the first comment. Someone is more likely to recognize your book.

Does the boy write computer code or is he a hacker?

Thanks for updating the header. I added a few details; feel free to edit it.
