Description

Book 4 of the international best-selling Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior series that takes readers inside the journal of Runt, a 12-year-old Minecraft villager who dares to dream of becoming a Minecraft warrior!

In this fourth in the series of Minecraft-inspired adventure books, Runt is in serious trouble. The young warrior must face the most violent attack that the village has ever known and confront one of his classmates! On top of that, there are only a couple of days left to study for his redstone exam, and he’s totally unprepared!

When Lola, a redstone genius, unexpectedly joins his team, the problem seems solved. But the awkwardness of this new arrival could actually cost Runt his dream…

A Minecraft-inspired adventure for readers ages 8-10
Fun, fast-paced story about teamwork, trust, and leadership with full-color illustrations throughout
Shorter text blocks that reward readers, balanced with longer text blocks that challenge, appeal to reluctant and independent readers alike and build reading confidence

Trade screentime for adventure time! Get swept up in Runt’s world and see if he can rise to the challenge and earn his place at the top.

A review from my 9 year old son:- Thank you netgalley for letting me have this book. I am a big minecraft fan and I love reading anything to do with minecraft. This book was totally awesome and I loved reading it. I loved reading about the wimpy villagers and am going to go and build my own wimpy village as it was that good. Can't wait to read the other books in the series! Thanks

Thank you from my son, it was a really good book for him to read. I will post my (his) review online soon!

Like every middle-school-aged boy in North America, my son is obsessed with Minecraft. He also read all of the Wimpy Kid books a few years ago. So, naturally, when I came across this book, I had to get it for him. He really liked it and thinks his friends will too. Highly recommended.

Yet another great continuation of the saga. In this installment, the reader gets a sense of accomplishment over the attacking creatures. Again, Runt proves that he can overcome great obstacles and fight alongside those who were out to get him. I hope this saga continues with more installments as these are awesome reads.

My son and I read this book together and we both enjoyed it. He loves Minecraft and reading so this was perfect. I liked the perseverance it teaches kids. We will definitely be recommending this to his friends and looking for the others in the series.

My 10 year old son loves this series, and Path of the Diamond was no exception. Giggles abound when reading about Runt's adventures. I'm also reading through the series with my 7 year old who is able to read the books on his own (and has completed through Book 3), but also loves to read aloud with me.
