I have a nephew that really enjoys Minecraft, so I often buy books for him (it's one of the only things that motivates him to read). Most books I've found, especially the free ones, are not fit to be called books. They're scams, overpriced, with grammar mistakes and bad writing.NOT this book. It's not award-winning stuff, but it's a solid read. It tells the story of a Minecraft zombie and his adventures with his friends. In this book, they go on a "scarecation" to explore the jungle biome. They plan to visit a temple and go to the special zombie park for some cool rides. This zombie may not be human (of course), but he is just like any other human kid, getting into trouble and struggling with his mom picking clothes for him. There's a lot of creativity in this book. Creepy, his creeper friend, takes medication so he's less likely to blow up. Also, the zombies buy extra body parts because theirs keep falling off!I recommend this book to any kid who likes Minecraft, especially the reluctant readers.
I bought these for my daughter who just turned 10 because she is a minecraft fanatic. She finished each book in about 30-45 minutes. Could be a little cheaper considering they are not very long book, but still worth it to me long as my little girl is reading.
if a bully reads this book,he will never bully another soulif the person who is reading this book is getting bullied,he will learn to stand up to bullies
I'm reading these books aloud to my 6 year old son at bedtime. I bought them to encourage reading instead of playing minecraft (which he also likes to do). He's not totally reading on his own yet, but he does follow along and can figure out some of the words. The book is written like a diary with daily entries, so we can read a couple of days or a whole week, depending on how much time we have. He loves the stories and always asks for more. My 8 year old daughter even listens in sometimes. The writing is nothing spectacular; it's definitely written like a kid would write (and not a particularly witty kid). And the typesetting/production on the book are not too impressive. The few included photos are black and white and hard to see. But it's affordable and my kids like the gross-zombie-booger-body part-type-stuff, so it's a hit. We are on Book 3 now; I've already purchased 4 and 5 as well. We'll read through them together and maybe when my son is older he'll read them on his own. Bonus: I can brush up on minecraft terminology, which earns me some bonus Mom points.
I have purchased the first 4 books of this series and my son loves them. He is 9! They are just the right reading level and they are about minecraft, something he really enjoys. It is one of the few times I do not have to make him read and he enjoys them. He often comes to read me certain sections he finds funny. The only con, they are kind of short. But the price is right!
My grandson is almost 8. He is addicted to Minecraft. Although he is an excellent reader, above second grade reading level, he is not fond of reading because he does not find the books interesting. Well I ordered him the entire set of this series. Probably a dumb idea because had he not liked them I would have been stuck with 9 books. Luckily, I judged correctly. For the first time since he had discovered Minecraft, the video game, he was reading rather than playing. It confirmed Grandma's theory that it was not the reading he did not like, it was the subject matter! Yeah Grandma. So the books get 5 starts from both of us.
My boys (8 & 10) are very into Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Minecraft, so this series was a no-brainer. The books are very short and light-weight, but my boys did get a good kick out of them. If you are trying to get a reluctant reader reading chapter books, this is great incentive.
I bought the Diary of A Minecraft Zombie books for my Minecraft obsessed 10 year old daughter and she loves them! She quickly finished each book and I can't buy them fast enough! Would definitely recommend to anyone buying for a young (8-11 yr old) Minecraft obsessed child!
