If you have been with me for a little bit than you might remember me mentioning the book Trouble in Zombie-town (read that review here) and how much I loved it. It is part of a series I have been dying to complete so, needless to say, I was super excited for a chance to read Book One in the GAMEKNIGHT999 series, Invasion of the Overworld! This book was a lot of fun and I could not put it down. The writing is great and the story is intriguing. I love that this series is all about Minecraft – that makes it a total Geek, nerd, gamer item to me – which means it fits in perfectly with my FanGirl Friday series! This book really is a must have for any tween/teen because it also addresses the important topic of bullying.
Synopsis:
Gameknight999 loved Minecraft, but above all else, he loved to grief—to intentionally ruin the gaming experience for other users. When one of his father’s inventions teleports him into the game, Gameknight is forced to live out a real-life adventure inside a digital world. What will happen if he’s killed? Will he respawn? Die in real life? Stuck in the game, Gameknight discovers Minecraft’s best-kept secret, something not even the game’s programmers realize: the creatures within the game are alive! He will have to stay one step ahead of the sharp claws of zombies and pointed fangs of spiders, but he’ll also have to learn to make friends and work as a team if he has any chance of surviving the Minecraft war his arrival has started. This action-packed tribute to the worldwide computer game phenomenon is a runaway publishing smash and the perfect companion for Minecraft fans of all ages.
