Description
Runt has always dreamed of becoming a brave warrior—even if everyone else expects him to spend his life farming.
When the top students at his village school are offered the chance to begin elite warrior training, twelve-year-old Runt is determined to prove he belongs among them. But standing out isn't easy when you're small, inexperienced, and constantly surrounded by zombies, skeletons, creepers, and every other danger the Minecraft world can throw at you.
Written in the style of a hilarious illustrated diary, Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior combines laugh-out-loud humor, fast-paced adventure, memorable friendships, and plenty of Minecraft-inspired action. As Runt learns what it truly means to be courageous, loyal, and resourceful, readers are treated to an unforgettable coming-of-age story packed with clever illustrations, gaming references, and exciting surprises.
Perfect for Minecraft fans ages 8–10, reluctant readers, and kids who love adventure series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and illustrated chapter books, this bestselling unofficial Minecraft novel is the first book in the beloved Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior series.
- A bestselling Minecraft-inspired adventure series for readers ages 8-10
- Funny illustrated diary format — Humorous journal entries and black-and-white illustrations keep readers turning pages and make the book especially appealing for reluctant readers.
- Adventure, friendship, and courage — More than a game-inspired story, Runt's journey explores perseverance, teamwork, loyalty, and believing in yourself.
- Shorter text blocks that reward readers, balanced with longer text blocks that challenge, appeal to reluctant and independent readers alike and build reading confidence

'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!
