Minecraft: The Island: A Novel

The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero—stranded in the world of Minecraft—who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive.

Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn’t much time to soak up the sun. It’s getting dark, and there’s a strange new world to explore!

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island . . . like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

In this world, the rules don’t always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.

The reviews seemed good so I borrowed I borrowed it from the library.... IT WAS AWESOME I LOVED IT

I love Minecraft and other games very interesting 🧐

I love Minecraft it’s fun to build and fight.

I haven't read this yet. I will after I finish my book I am reading now. I will post a rating and review after I finish.

I enjoyed this book a lot. I thought it was cool that he was from the human world, but doesn't know anything about the world. He has to try and live his life the right way fighting monsters, building weapons, finding food, and making a good shelter. I can relate to this book by how people are introduced to new things, like a sister and/or brother, and has to learn to live with it. Overall, it was an awesome book to read and a great way to entertain yourself.

It was a good book and it was funny and it broght joy to me

It is about a boy/man (I'm not sure!) who got put into Minecraft and doesn't remember anything from his world. He is learning more and more each step of the way. It's cool and I like it!

I think that this book is the perfect book for people who are new at Minecraft or people who haven't played Minecraft in a long time. This book teaches people either how to farm or reviews how to farm. This book is for all people who love Minecraft or people who just started at it. For people who want to start playing,I strongly suggest it. Minecraft is the game!

this just looks like a good book
