The Diary of an 8-bit warrior series is the ultimate Minecraft fan-fiction for ages 7 and over. Written by author, gamer and Minecraft super-fan Cube Kid, the series follows Runt, a twelve-year-old Minecraft villager who dreams of becoming a warrior.
Originally self-published under the title Wimpy Villager, Diary of an 8 Bit Warrior became an instant hit in the Minecraft community. There are now six books in the unofficial Minecraft adventure series.
Runt’s journal has great colour illustrations and lots of laugh-out-loud moments alongside the exciting adventures. The journal format will appeal to fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries and, needless to say, Minecraft book series can be the perfect way to get fans of the game reading.
Although there are many other (official and unofficial) Minecraft books for kids, the gripping pace, humour and illustrations in this series make it a great one to start with. It’s best to read the books in order to follow Runt’s journey from noob to warrior on his perilous and exciting quests. Start with book one and you’ll race through the series in no time thanks to the cliff-hangers at the end of each story.
