Tom: I’ve spent a few minutes before this interview trying to look up the name of the hamster in your books. I can’t remember what the hamster was called, but it was brilliant… As Morgan, Ash, Harper, Po and Jodie begin to establish their Minecraft lives by assembing items to build walls and craft items in the village, they begin to realise that at night their home is being overrun by hostile mobs. Tom: That is amazing – how long did you spend coming up with that? I might have to get my name changed to Baron Sweetcheeks. Guess I’ll just have to read the new series to find out! Currently there are two Woodsword Chronicles titles available, Into The Game and Night of the Bats. They’re out in the UK and America (with region-exclusive covers, too), and there’s many more to come! As Ash, Morgan, and three of their fellow Minecraft players, who can actually enter the game, take a deep dive into the Aquatic biome, they find a world filled with beauty and wonder. A treasure map promises adventure and the opportunity to explore—but it could also be a trap set by the mysterious Evoker King. With air running low, will they survive to find out?

Goodreads Last Block Standing! by Nick Eliopulos | Goodreads

Ik vond het top om te lezen wat deze kinderen deden voor het dorp, en ik vond het ook leuk om ze te zien reizen door Minecraft en nieuwe dingen ontdekken en maken. Ik vond het erg leuk om te lezen en zelfs al heb ik het eerste deel niet gelezen het was niet moeilijk het verhaal te volgen want ze laten dingen weten die gebeurden in het eerste boek. Blijkbaar kunnen deze kinderen door een VR Bril naar Minecraft teleporteren en daar reizen ze rond en helpen ze mensen, maar er is ook een slechterik en in dit boek is diegene er ook, achter de schermen. Tom: Some of the text in the book is in bold or different fonts or stylistically very different. It’s not something I’ve really seen before in books. Can you tell us more about that stylistic choice? Chapter 1: “Step into My Parlor!” It’s the Polite Way to Say: “Come Here, I’m Gonna Eat You Now.” [ ] Jodi, Ash, Morgan and their fellow Minecraft players go out into the real world to find clues to the identity of the mysterious and sinister Evoker King. Not only do they need to find out who—or what—he is, but they need to know if it's really possible for him to escape the game! Because if he can, that could spell big trouble both in the game and out!

About Minecraft Woodsword Chronicles: The Complete Series: Books 1-6 (Minecraft Woosdword Chronicles) I think it’s a good book if you like Minecraft. Some words may be difficult for young readers, but over all it’s a cool story. It begins with the characters at their school and during a lesson, they are suddenly disturbed by a lot of bats. It’s up to the group to solve the problem of stopping the bats from coming in again. The crew work together to find a solution which ultimately helps them in their real life at school. Five heroes are huddled together deep underground; an alchemist, a knight, a rogue, a wizard, and a ranger. They feel confident about the dungeon that awaits them, but the narrator mentions that they will lose the battle.

Tom: You’ve got four Minecraft obsessives who can call out anything that doesn’t follow the rules of the game. Tom: You mentioned wanting the Phantom in the books. Were there any other Minecraft features that you were like “I have to get that in there, I’m determined to get that into the books”?Tom: But how strict are you to the parameters of the game? Because the books are set in a special virtual reality version of Minecraft that doesn’t exist. So when do you go “Can I have artistic license here?” or do you think “No, this has to be exactly like it is in the core game?” Mojang Tom: So so far we’ve seen ‘Into the Game’ and ‘Night of the Bats’. The next book in the Woodsword Chronicles series is ‘Deep Dive’ – can you tell us a little bit more about that? After the success of the the Into The Game first book we immediately went onto the second part of Minecraft Night Of The Bats. So I’m a writer living in New York. I actually moved from Florida to New York to work in children’s publishing as an editor, and I did that for a good twelve or thirteen years before transitioning to writing full time. I’ve got a lot of different projects in addition to the Minecraft books – I’m also writing a fantasy series, which I’m co-writing with my best friend, and I’m the writer and narrative designer for a small video game studio based in Seattle. I’m a big gamer as well as a big reader and writer, so the Minecraft gig is a super-exciting one for me!

I'm not going to spoil it by telling you whether they find out who the Evoker King is but the mysterious 6th headset is found and that gamer is revealed.Five young Minecraft players in the real world find themselves transported inside the game they love. But now it's not a game—and they will have to use everything they know to explore, build, and survive! Een nieuw en superleuk boek over Minecraft. Ik speel het spel nog steeds niet, het klinkt gewoon niet als een soort spel voor mij, maar ik kan het niet laten om boeken te lezen erover. Dit is blijkbaar het tweede boek... um goed gedaan bibliotheek want jullie hadden boek 1 niet eens toen ik dit boek las. :P Chapter 4: You Can’t Go Home Again! (Well, You Can, but You Might Not Like What You Find There.) [ ] Edward and myself have enjoyed this series immensely and I recommend anyone who has boys aged between 7-10 and you struggle getting them to read rather than game then this is the series to start with. Creepertastic! 👾

It’s a Deep Dive and that’s a lot of the aquatic stuff; it’s an underwater adventure but it’s actually going into some of the real-world stuff that Mojang has inspired as well. But as a result of that, I’m determined to get llamas in the books whenever and however I can so there will be a lot more llamas as the series goes on!
