Description

Book 1 of the international best-selling 8-Bit Warrior series that introduces the journal of Runt, a young Minecraft villager who dares to dream of becoming a Minecraft warrior!

The first volume of this international best-selling unofficial Minecraft adventure series begins with Runt, our 12-year-old hero, about to choose his future vocation at the Minecraftia school. His options are less than thrilling: farmer, crafter, miner. But what this noob really wants is to be a warrior like his hero, Steve. So when he learns that the five best students in school that year will get the chance to start warrior training, it’s ON.

A Minecraft-inspired adventure for readers ages 8-10
Fun, action-packed quest with humor and heart, 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

A great gift that will get Minecraft fans (and reluctant readers) off the screen and ready to level up their reading game – pick up a copy for the young video gamer in your life!

'Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior: An Unofficial Minecraft Adventure' by Cube Kid is a kind of mashup of the video game Minecraft and the book series Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

The diary in the title is being kept by a villager named Runt in Minecraftia. He leads a decent life except for the zombies trying to get over the walls and the other perils. He heads off to school to learn things, but what he really wants to be is a warrior like Steve. What he doesn't know is that Steve thinks all of this is a game. As Runt learns, we follow his progress in the different skills like building, crafting, fighting, etc. He has a rival at school, but also friends.

I think it will be a fun series for a certain age kid. There are some pretty funny things that happen and plenty of drawings along the way. Runt is a likable young character and I found myself rooting for him. I enjoyed this.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this review copy. I requested this for my 10 year old son, who is a big minecraft fan. He said it was the best book he had ever read. It was very funny and he really enjoyed it! He would love to read the other books in the series! He would recommend it for anyone of his age who is really into Minecraft!
