About the author

Nick Eliopulos was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where he grew up on a steady diet of super-hero comics and “non-fiction” books about alien abductions, psychic phenomena, and Sasquatch. He was fortunate to have parents and teachers who encouraged his off-beat reading habits, which ultimately led him to pursue a degree in cultural studies at the University of Florida.

Shortly after graduating, Nick moved to New York to work in publishing. In the course of his thirteen-year career as a children’s book editor, he had the opportunity to write for a number of licensed properties, from Thomas the Tank Engine to DC Super Friends and Scholastic’s New York Times bestselling multiplatform series Spirit Animals. His original comics work has appeared in anthologies Stuck in the Middle and First Kiss (Then Tell).

Nick’s debut novel, The Adventurers Guild, will be published by Hyperion in October 2017. Co-authored with his best friend Zack Loran Clark, the book is heavily inspired by the duo’s collaborative storytelling experiences with tabletop role-playing games; they’ve been in the same weekly gaming group for nearly a decade.

Nick lives in Brooklyn with his husband, a fellow editor, author, and Southern transplant. He’s currently employed as a narrative designer for an indie video game studio. He still reads super-hero comics and harbors an ever-dwindling hope that Sasquatch might be out there.

Reviews

[Tapani Aulu]

Eskarilaisen unelmakirjoja. Ei tietenkää aikuiselle oikein mitään.

Minecraft kuvastoa joo jee mutta tarina on aivan mitäänsanomaton. Ja yhdessä kohdassa puhuttiin hakusta vaikka kädessä oli kirves. Uppoaa varmaan pieniin Minecraft faneihin mutta voisko näissä kirjoissa tapahtuaki jotain??

[Matti Karjalainen]

Nick Eliopulosin Ylämaailman oliot ylitti kirkkaasti kaikki odotukset, mutta tämä toinen suomennettu Minecraft-oheistuoteseikkailu on vaan yksiselitteisen huono. Voi tietysti olla, että lukemaan opettelevat nassukat ovat innosta piukeina saadessaan tämän hyppysiinsä!

[Jared White]

I know very little about Minecraft, besides that our young library patrons ask for books about it over and over again. Some of the patrons have been too young (aka not strong enough readers) for our chapter book Minecraft books but still insist on trying to read them. Having a Minecraft book at this level is much appreciated and I'm sure some of our young readers will like it quite a bit!

I liked that this book takes place in my favorite game, but it was way too easy of a journey up the mountain for them.

[Catherine]

Not as good as "Beware the creeper" by Christy Webster, but cute enough.

[Adam]

(read aloud by himself at 5yo, missed one word, ‘hostile’.)

[Frans Kempe]

Lättläst för yngre barn

Read with my 4 year old who is obsessed with minecraft currently.

Stories about anything, as long as kids read? Maybe… but I still don’t want this one.
It’s Level 3, aimed at grades 1-2, and assumes the child plays Minecraft and knows the characters and game mechanics.
Nope. Not for us.
