My 9yo son says 5 stars. I did not read it. 😁

A brief review from a 6 year old:

“Eek was a special character. He can go faster than anyone else. The problem was that Ash was the only one with Eek! They were stuck in one place. Eek loved boats!”

Given that this book was intended for young audiences it was written well. I think it had a plot line that was intriguing to those that are interested in Minecraft! The different fonts kept my kiddo on his toes and thought this feature was cool.

Another fun book in this series that my 7yo loved. He enjoyed how the story developed, and found moments laugh-out-loud funny!

Thanks to PRHAudio for this review copy.
