'Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior: Path of the Diamond' by Cube Kid continues Runt's unofficial Minecraft adventures.

This book continues Runt's adventure to become a warrior, but first there is school and testing. To pass the tests, Runt trusts a girl who may have a secret weapon, but it could be that she has her own agenda.

This is a pretty good series based on a video game for younger readers. The art and story are fun and there are even strategy hints for the careful reader.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
