Minecraft is an unstoppable deluge, so it's no surprise it's making its way into comics, too. This unofficial Minecraft-based adventure follows village girl Phoenix, who doesn't fit in with everyone else, including her own family. She has a small nose and red hair, and she dreams of seeing the world outside the high walls that surround the village. One day, she breaks the rules and ventures into the woods, but when her brother, Xander, follows, a moaning zombie bites and infects him. Now Phoenix must leave the village to find the magical cure to heal Xander, and along the way, she'll have to deal with wolves, creepers, and a witch who schemes to use Phoenix for her own purposes. The highly pixilated art reflects the distinctive animation-style of the game and looks almost like screen grabs, which will only endear it more to young readers who love to play Minecraft. The book reads like the first volume of a continuing adventure and will leave kids wanting more.

Phoenix longs to see the world outside of her village. One day, she risks a trip over the town’s wall to see the dark forest. Her quick adventure releases a monster that turns her brother into a zombie! It’s up to Phoenix to save him by leaving her village and finding the enchanted golden apple.

This graphic novel for kids is followed by other Minecraft graphic novels, including Revenge of the Zombie Monks, Saving Xenos, Chasing Herobrine, The Ender Eye Prophecy, and Battle for the Dragon’s Temple. They are easy graphic novels and are sure to be enjoyed by all who love Minecraft and stories filled with adventure, courage, and action.

This adventure series is created especially for readers who love the fight of good vs. evil, magical academies like Hogwarts in the Harry Potter saga, and games like Minecraft, Terraria, and Pokemon GO. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
