ME LOVES DIS FLIPPING BOOK!!!!!!!

I just love this series. That's about as much as I can say about it.
Reasons why I love this book:

They made a movie based on the video games, so of course there is a book series.

A zombie apocalypse is threatening the minecraft world, and ruining Zombie's birthday party. We can't have that.

There so much explanation, yet, it's still confusing for those who don't play.

Pretty crap - but that's not really a surprise, now, is it?

At the same time, I enjoyed the experience of reading it to my boy at night. And the fact that he loved it is adorable. I am gently pushing him to choose a Goosebumps book for our next one together.

Read on KU

Poor Zack all he wants us to have the best 13th birthday ever, and be in with the cool kids. But nothing ever goes right for him - his birthday falls on Halloween but this year it's extra scary as pumpkin heads start infecting his village as well as Steve's human village.

This was a great wee Halloween edition, the kids were loving it, another great instalment!

I didn't like this book because I don't like birthday apocalypses on my birthday. I enjoyed this book because when Zack had a birthday apocalypse, he used some big pants and trapped the thing with the pumpkin head in his closet. Then when he got to school, the witch was brewing a potion to make the things with the pumpkin heads on them turn back into what they used to be. Then they put the potion into the sprinkler and led all the pumpkin headed things to the school yard and they sprinkled the potion on their heads and they turned back to what they were (I forgot what they were).

Its about a zombies birthday when he wants something scary for his birthday he lies to his parents about is little brother and his party for trick or treating and when he lied about his brothers trick or treating party he doesn't feel happy but he does apologizes but not before a zombie apocalypse karma happens, and that's why you don't lie to your parents or it may happen to you too so don't lie to your parents.

This ......wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.

The format for the words is really intriguing. I'm not sure I've read another book where each sentence was its own paragraph.

Definitely something that Minecraft enthusiasts will eat up.

Due to the coloring of the books, I had not realized this was a series rather than a stand-alone.

I thought this book was good. I have been a big fan of the game Minecraft and I had this in my room for me to read and I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this to other readers who like reading. I like the part where the main zombie was not apart of the zombie apocalypse. I can't wait for the next book for me to read.

Nice message

This series sends a good message to teens and kids everywhere while also not being all about that lame mushy friendship crud the other things like this do and I really liked the whole pumpkin zombie apocalypse thing very nice touch.

Poor old Zack, not the sharpest tool in the box, but then again he does have a pea brain. My son enjoyed it though.
