So this was very Minecraft, with building things and blowing things up and dolphins and stuff. The thing is, I have no context for how old the kids are so I had no idea if I should worry about their shenanigans or cheer them on. I’m sure kids don’t care.

Full disclosure: I read this book for a Book Club run by a precocious 8 year-old. It is the first book I have ever read that is inspired by the world of Minecrafters and the first book in a series about a group of people living underwater. I have never played Minecraft and what little I know about it comes from that same 8 year-old. Since the book is about folks trying to save books, I was game. Graphic novels can be fun. I was a little distracted by how pixelated the graphics were. Guessing that is to resemble a world in Minecraft? Anyway, the story line wasn't bad. I would have enjoyed more dialogue and backstory on the characters, but I don't think those two things are high on the list of priorities for graphic novels. The kids who become the S.Q.U.I.D. squad definitely had normal kid characteristics even though they were in an unusual world. I can see how youngsters who are fans of Minecraft would be drawn to this series of books. And there were a couple really humorous moments.

This book was very adventurous, and has not many words. The only bad thing was that some of the things you can't actually do. Otherwise this is one of the greatest comics I have ever read!

Read this story with my 8.5 year old son and he really enjoyed it. We took turns, with him reading the short sentences and I the longer paragraphs. He already asked me to buy the rest of the series!

P.S. To my teacher. I have been reading this book for a while today.

At first I didn't think much of this book, but then I read it more and actually really liked it! Very good book! Can't wait to read the next one!
