Get ready for it…Minecraft, the novel! If you have young people at home, no doubt you’ve seen the pixel-heavy game Minecraft. While it stumps most adults as to why kids today would want to play a game that looks so “simple” compared to the graphic-heavy games of today. But they’ve taken to the challenges of building and creating in this world like no other game out there. And now, there’s a novel.
MINECRAFT: THE ISLAND by Max Brooks, was released in mid-July, and follows the story of the hero who is stranded on Minecraft Island and must figure out a way to escape. No doubt this will be a popular series with its young fans. Only time will tell if it will move from one generation to the next!
