This is absolutely going to be a must-read for anyone who loves Minecraft, but especially middle grade and early YA readers! As someone who has loved Minecraft for a long time but hasn't played it very recently, reading this totally made me want to dive into a new game. It's such a fun story, and it adds in some great additional elements, like how hard moving to a new place is, the way distance can affect friendships (and what we can do to help our friends not feel alone or neglected), and how v

I can’t rate this because I don’t know/care enough about Minecraft to determine its value. But my 3rd grader asked me to read it. Underneath the gaming stuff is a cute story about new and old friendships.
This is super cute! We just bought it for my 7-year-old nephew for his Christmas present and I of course had to read it because I love Minecraft. Even if you don't play the game, this is a cute book about friendship and adventure.
A lot of these reviews make me so sad with parents being like "ugh minecraft". Minecraft is the most creative game out there! If your kids are going to be playing a video game, you should be happy it's Minecraft. I could literally rave all day about how cool Minecraft ...more

So glad I was pressed into reading this by 9 and 10 year olds because wrapped up in the Minecraft package is a charming friendship story with queer characters!!

Friendship, Minecraft, a quest, and more!
I wanted to read this book and I was delighted when my library had it… In Dutch though, but I will take it! The biggest reason why I was eager to read it is because of Sarah Graley who just has this amazing style!
In this one, and if the names are off that is because I am using the Dutch edition’s names, David has moved houses, but thankfully he lives in this age and day so he can pop online to see all his friends. And they all gather in Minecraft at the b ...more

if you enjoy middle grade graphic novels and playing minecraft you need to read this!! it’s so quick to read and the art is soooo pretty.
Graley’s art is always cute but the story and characters, their “adventures” and interactions? Dull and unimaginative. Wish I’d have waited to get his at the library instead of rushing out for it for our son as soon as it was published. MEH.
Alright. For me personally this is a 3 at most. Mainly because I honestly have so many reservations about kids getting most of their social interaction via a video game. I also don't find the adventures within Minecraft particularly interesting. What did I expect though when this is a graphic novel literally about the game Minecraft?
What I do know though is that I know several kids that would greatly enjoy this book! And it had many positive aspects. The diverse cast of characters of every race ...more

Chose to read this since graphic novels are popular and I was trying to pick out books for my brothers kids (think 5th grader). Minecraft is popular and the book had high ratings as well as being recommended as summer reading for kids that might not be that interested in reading.

In Minecraft Volume One a Kid named Tyler is going through adventures with his friends. From completing a Beacon to the slaying the Ender Dragon, this little book has Minecraft all over it without all the blocks distracting us from the story itself. I'd also like to say I really appreciate that it has a drawing process at the back so we can see how the illustrations in the book came to be.

Read to my 5 year old who loves anything Minecraft. We're in a few novels right now, so it's nice having a book with pictures. Although I wouldn't say it's age appropriate, having the pictures is a nice addition, as the other chapter books we read are also not age appropriate and don't have photos. Side note... Why no Minecraft books for K-2? We read this in one sitting on my Kindle for tablet. Awesome drawings and a good story about relationships and a sweet group of friends. Interesting choice

Pretty good, although I have very limited Minecraft knowledge (=PARENT) I was able to follow the hero's quest okay.
I liked that the girls were the adventurers and the boys were happier at the base, working on building things. It seemed to me that they were a bit too young to be asking each other on "a date." On a closer inspection of the text, the kids' ages aren't ever specifically mentioned. I just assumed they were 3rd-5th grades. What do I know?

My 7 year old son loved this, and I enjoyed reading it to him even though I have no interest in Minecraft. I didn't know anything about the controversy surrounding it, but it wasn't a big deal to me or my son. He said, "Dad, I didn't know girls could go on a date with each other," and I said, "Yep, they can" and we kept reading. I was all ready for some great conversations or questions, but he didn't bring it up again. I wish I could say the same about Minecraft. :(

Quick and Easy read—probably easier if you play Minecraft and know all the terms they are talking about. It’s clear this was meant for someone who is well versed in the game. As someone who doesn’t play Minecraft, it was difficult for me to care about anything they were talking about. I’ll have to see what my sister thinks and give a rating based on her opinions.
I'm not a big follower of minecraft. Hoopla had a promotion for bonus borrows so I checked this ebook out without using one of my 8 borrows of the month. I was surprised that Microsoft bought the company. The story goes beyond minecraft and shows the community and friendship that can be found through playing Minecraft. This book should be enjoyable to Minecraft players.

No rating because it wouldn't be fair. I wasn't very interested in their journey, and I thought Tyler was being a bit unreasonable (but thankfully not a brat). There are some fun cartoony moments, but I think if I had played Minecraft, I would have enjoyed this more.

I thought this was a cute story. I can't imagine enjoying this if you're not familiar with Minecraft. There is a brief subplot that felt forced and extraneous to me, but young readers might enjoy this book.

Super cute graphic novel. I think this would be good for most kids who are into gaming and are trying to get into reading (or if you're trying to get them into reading). Anyone who plays Minecraft should enjoy this. I loved it just based on Minecraft memories. :)

Cute book about how a boy is able to spend time with old friends online playing Minecraft after he moves away.
I actually thought the information about drawing and selecting panels was extremely interesting and valuable. It provides an opportunity for a lot of discussion.

Just very short also not very accurate to Minecraft Tyler used an eye of ender as an ender pearl.
Short and not accurate to the game but enjoyable at least and art is really good in my opinion that why I have threenstars.

I think if you’ve got a minecraft loving kid, this is the graphic novel for them! I’d say great for kids 8+. I know very little about minecraft but I enjoyed this! Friendship, gaming and fun! Plus you can’t beat Sarah Graley’s illustrations!! 😍

A cute comic about friendship, teamwork, video games and kicking dragon butt.
“It’s definitely amazing and I love it and think other kids should read it!” -Griffin (my 9 year old son)
My son said this book rushed through the exciting bits and I think that's a fair assessment. The whole thing was over too quickly as the book is a bit too short.

A fun read that focuses more on the relationships between the characters than the world of Minecraft.
A cute comic set in the Minecraft world for kids. A good example of team work.
Great Comic style book about kids who play Minecraft and want to kill the ender dragon! There is a lot more to this book than just killing the ender dragon, but it's a lot more fun to read yourself!

Two girls dating in a graphic novel aimed at children. Ridiculous. No more of these.
Lol I loved it! SO funny!
