Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior: From Seeds to Swords: An Unofficial Minecraft Adventure (Volume 2)

Book 2 of the international best-selling Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior series that takes readers inside the journal of Runt, a young Minecraft villager who dares to dream of becoming a Minecraft warrior! “ A Minecraft Movie leveled up at the box office, collecting a blockbuster $157 million in its opening weekend. It’s not only the biggest debut of the year but the best in history for a video game adaptation.” — Variety Pet slimes. A potion brew-off. A creepy forest that no one will explain. What’s a twelve-year-old warrior-in-training to do? As Runt and his friends continue their battle preparation, they face their biggest challenges yet—and it’s not just those zombies decked out in body armor (which is really weird, by the way). Runt’s got a brand-new nemesis who will stop at nothing to claim the top spot in the warrior competition at school. And, to make matters worse, there’s a strange girl following him around wherever he goes. But old enemies will become new allies as the town rallies to save the school from a series of mysterious mob attacks. Can Runt and his friends take down the biggest, baddest boss mob yet? With fun text changes, full-color illustrations throughout, and shorter text blocks to reward readers balanced with longer text blocks to challenge readers, this book will get Minecraft fans (and reluctant readers) off the screen and into reading! "On the flip side of the mess that is typically self publishing, we occasionally encounter a shining star like CubeKid. I am rarely impressed by any of the KindleUnlimited books I read to Ben at night, self published or not, never mind works published at the speed at which s/he puts them out. Cubekid is a bonafide author, spinning authentic and enthralling stories with witty dialogue that is the most enjoyable work to read out loud I have encountered in the past year (maybe ever, to be honest... there is such a smooth flow to reading these books out loud that I look forward to our bedtime reading time, and I have a hard time putting my kindle down when my son starts yawning and is clearly ready to go to sleep. *I* want to know what happens next!)." -- Keri (source: amazon.com/review/RK5325ULHDLMP) Cube Kid is the pen name of Erik Gunnar Taylor. A fan of video games—and particularly Minecraft—he started writing fan fiction at a very young age. His first novel, The Diary of a Minecraft Villager , was self-published as an ebook in February 2015 and quickly became tremendously successful in the Minecraft community. The novel was acquired by the French publisher Édi8, and was published for the first time in France in February 2016 under the title LE JOURNAL D'UN NOOB , with new illustrations by Saboten. The Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior series sparked worldwide interest and has evolved into several series including a graphic novel adaptation and a series for young readers that are published in 10 different languages.  When he is not writing, Cube Kid loves travelling, fixing his car, voraciously reading fanfiction . . . and gaming!
