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!
'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.
