  • First Night: An Unofficial Minecraft Adventure

    Jill Keppeler

    Hardcover (West 44 Books, July 15, 2019)
    Matt Lopez is an ordinary kid. He likes hanging out with his friends, playing Minecraft, and teasing his brother and sister. But when Matt buys a secondhand VR headset at a lawn sale and tries it out one night, he gets a huge surprise: he wakes up in the world of Minecraft! It'll take all his skills and smarts to stay alive, because gathering resources, putting together tools, and creating a safe spot to avoid nighttime monsters is far easier on screen than it is in reality. This exciting chapter book will grab Minecraft fans with game tips and tricks, an intriguing story, and engaging characters.
