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.
Jill Keppeler is a writer, editor, reader, geek, gamer, and mom with a background in newspaper journalism. She taught herself to play Minecraft when her then-five-year-old son became interested in the game. Now, they play together. Jill lives with her husband and two sons in Buffalo, New York, where she writes, buys too many comic books, cheers for the Sabres and Bills, writes, tries to do lots of cool stuff with her boys, crafts creative cookies, and—oh, yeah—writes.
