Diary of a Chicken Jockey Back 2 School – For Anyone Who’s Ever Felt Weird on Their First Day By Tom Blocklad
Zee didn’t ask to switch schools. He was perfectly happy causing trouble at his old one. But now he’s been dumped into Mob Academy, a school full of creepers, slimes, endermen, and one very suspicious vending machine. He’s the new kid. And also, technically, a chicken jockey. Which makes things even weirder.
Armed with a half-eaten map, zero social skills, and his feathered sidekick Nugget (who may or may not be starting a student revolution), Zee stumbles through invisible desks, exploding backpacks, food fights, haunted broom closets, group projects from the Nether, and a surprise talent show that changes everything.
It’s loud. It’s ridiculous. It’s full of lava.
But along the way, something unexpected happens—Zee starts to find his people. Or mobs. Whatever.
This laugh-out-loud diary adventure is more than just chaos and clucking—it’s a warm, funny, and unexpectedly helpful story for any kid who’s ever felt nervous about fitting in, starting somewhere new, or just being themselves.
A Minecraft-inspired diary story packed with humour, heart, and total mayhem
Relatable themes of first-day nerves, awkward moments, and unexpected friendship
Perfect for readers aged 8–13, especially those who enjoy fast-paced, illustrated fiction
Features a poetry-loving ghast, a fireproof chicken in a bowtie, and a wither skeleton who may need a hug
Great for reluctant readers, anxious new starters, or any kid who’s ever fallen through a cursed floor in front of the whole class
Mob Academy may be unpredictable... but so is Zee. And maybe, just maybe, that’s a good thing.
