Meowsers. Great book meow. Chicken Nuggy dreams. Chicken wing. Woof woof. Meow woof woof Chicken wings. Johnny Cash. Bubbles. Tom.Review by my 7 year old

Fun and pretty accurate Minecraft lore. My kiddo read the entire thing the day we got it, and asked for the rest of the series!

I didn't know what to expect with these books, but wow! What a well written, funny and enjoyable book for my 7 year old (and me!). He looks forward to reading the book together and when we do, we laugh so much. It's so relevant to the game and very creative in other ways. Looking forward to reading the rest of these books. I highly recommend!

There is a reason why this is the number one best seller in Amazon children's Minecraft books, and I'm here to tell you why! Obviously the premise of the story is based on the Wimpy Kid series, so you're basically getting a point-of-view story in diary form. The chapters are broken down into days and are short and easy to read. They're told from Zombie's point of view, who is middle school aged and introduces us to all of his friends (who are also Mobs like him). You'll meet Skelly, Creepy, and Zombie's whole family (even his little ankle biting brother). There are little black and white pictures scattered throughout, so it breaks up the story and makes it more entertaining for the reader. Zombie is a very likable character, not scary or frightening at all. There is nothing gory (but some gross mentions of boogers and such). Zombie tells about his daily life as a Mob and about his human friend, Steve. You might find some typos throughout the book, but nothing awful (that's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). My son is 6 and could probably read these on his own (he's a strong reader) but he preferred having it read aloud to him. And I must say, I enjoyed reading it, too! There were some cute and funny parts that made me chuckle out loud (you will especially appreciate it if you are an adult Minecraft fan). I particularly appreciated that the author kept the storyline light and funny, and that almost all ages could appreciate it. Some of the other Minecraft fiction out there is not geared toward the younger crowd, but this one, in my opinion, is safe for everyone. I also have to add that we were given a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for a fair review, but I went ahead and purchased another copy for myself as well as book 4 in the series for my son - we loved it that much! Definitely worth reading, and it's a great price, you can't beat it.

Great reader for my first grader. If yours is a Minecraft fan, this will certainly get them reading!

Okay, I bought this book for my Minecraft obsessed 6 year old because he hates reading and I thought this would help him with that… can I just say, I was right! He finished book 1 and started book 2 the same day so he could see what happens next! He also told me he wants to finish the whole series this year!! That is a HUGE deal for us! So thank you for writing the series that got my kiddo reading!I also enjoy listening to the stories as he reads them to me. There is a lot of hidden humor in them and it’s at a level he can understand and that I can still appreciate without having a ton of Minecraft knowledge. Can’t wait to hear what happens in the next book!

Love, love. Love these books. My son who struggles and hates to read actually couldn't put it down. He read without any pushing or prodding. He wasn't even supposed to read for homework! He just wanted to. I immediately bought the next in the series.

Perfect for my Minecraft-obsessed budding reader!

Quick shipping and packaged well. Great option for a book we couldn't find locally. Son loves it. Highly recommended.

This would make an ideal gift for any Minecraft fan. I got this for my son to read as he currently into Minecraft. With this being part of a book collection it makes a great start to completing the collection. It has text and images throughout the book so not all text.

I Liked everythingI would probably recommend it to my friendsIt is just fun so I gave 5 star

Einfach und witzig geschrieben. Meine 9-Jährigen sind sprachbegeistert und lernen so gleich noch lieber Englisch.

The media could not be loaded.  I think my son will be very happy to read the book he's enjoying that kind of games a lot. Only I was thinking the book will be much bigger and had more pages. There's not so much text because the letters are very big and it's not a lot of it in the pages probably have to buy some more books like that.
