A Noob's Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior (Volume 1)

An all-new unofficial Minecraft warrior adventure series for young readers from bestselling author Cube Kid!

This story follows Runt, a villager who longs to be a warrior. He isn’t interested in carrot culture, and he definitely isn’t interested in selling them in trade. When Runt decides to leave his home in hopes of fulfilling his lifelong dream, he meets Blurp, a zombie who longs of being a human. The unlikely pair form a bond and set out on adventures to prove themselves to everyone . . . or at least try!

Popular with reluctant readers, video gamers, and elementary school adventurers, A Noob's Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior combines the familiar narrative and characters of the illustrated novel series with the artwork style from the graphic novel series into a brand-new, Minecraft-inspired format for young readers ages 7-9.

Cube Kid is the pen name of Erik Gunnar Taylor, a 33-year-old author who lives in Alaska. A fan of video games—and particularly Minecraft—he started writing fanfiction at a very young age. His first novel, The Diary of a Minecraft Villager, was self-published as an ebook in February 2015 and quickly became tremendously successful in the Minecraft community. The novel was acquired by the French publisher Édi8 and was published for the first time in France in February 2016 under the title LE JOURNAL D'UN NOOB, with new illustrations by Saboten. The Diary of a Minecraft Villager sparked worldwide interest. When he is not writing, Cube Kid loves travelling, fixing his car, voraciously reading fanfiction . . . and gaming!
