I think Minecraft is the greatest game in the history of the world, and so did my two children who literally begged me to write Minecraft stories for them when they were young. That is why I have dedicated my life to writing Minecraft-inspired books to share with everyone!

For readers under 9, I recommend the first nine books of my Baby Zeke the Chicken Jockey series, my Mob Mania Tales, the Peter and the Player's Palace series, and my three-book Spider Chicken series as well as Creeptastic, A Notchmas Carol, and most of my standalone books.

For readers ages 9+, I recommend all of my other books, including the Diary of a Surfer Villager, Ballad of Winston the Wandering Trader, and Glitch Guardians series.

I got into this book because of Mark Sanderlin (the guy who reads the Dudes audiobooks). He is also the voice actor for the Baby Zeke series of Minecraft stories, so I checked them out. Let me tell you, first, that it's much cheaper to buy this series in two ebook volumes The Complete Baby Zeke: The Diary of a Chicken Jockey: Books 1 to 9: An Unofficial Minecraft Book and The Complete Baby Zeke: The Diary of a Chicken Jockey: Books 10 to 12: An Unofficial Minecraft Book.
The first book by itself is really short--under a hundred pages in paperback, and you'll feel like you want more. To me it didn't feel like a whole story but only the beginning of the story. The book collections give you a whole lot more story for way cheaper than buying the individual books. You can get them as ebook or audiobook sets or printed and merged into one fat paperback. Of course, I recommend you get the multi-volume set in audiobook because Mark Sanderlin is awesome!
The story is about a baby zombie who doesn't know why he's different from other zombies or even how he came to be. Luckily, he soon makes friends with other Minecraft characters, like an adult zombie and a chicken who help him discover his abilities and take part in adventures.
These books are really aimed at reluctant readers like Connor or younger readers, like my little brother, Jayden. But the adventures are exciting, and I was anxious to learn more after the first book. Despite Zeke being a baby, there is plenty of Minecraft violence especially from marauding players (who, remember, are kids like you and me). It's a whole new perspective.
