Revenge of the Zombie Monks: An Unofficial Graphic Novel for Minecrafters, #2

An Unofficial Graphic Novel for Minecrafters #2

by Cara J. Stevens, David Norgren (Illustrator), Elias Norgren (Illustrator)

Behind the walls of the monastery, the monks of Xenos grow enchanted golden apples for the villagers who live in their border world. The golden apples have magical healing powers that keep the villagers from harm. The monks also guard the knowledge that binds Xenos to her sister worlds and that keeps Xenos and its citizens safe. But now the monks have been zombified! What will the people of Xenos do now that they have no protection?

The only ones who can save Xenos’s monks are Phoenix—a miner girl who loves adventure—and her new friends: a hermit and Wolfie the wolf pup. But Phoenix and her gang do not suspect the culprit who is behind this terrible disaster—a powerful foe who will stop at nothing to keep Phoenix from saving the monks, and her world.

The exciting follow-up to Quest for the Golden Apple by New York Times bestselling author Megan Miller, Revenge of the Zombie Monks is sure to keep readers and fans of Minecraft on their toes!

About the author

I have wanted to be a writer since I was four years old and fell in love with reading. I wrote stories and songs and poems. I wrote plays and scribbled thoughts and ideas in notebooks. I wrote when I was supposed to be doing sports, and sometimes I wrote under the covers by flashlight when I was supposed to be asleep in bed.

I got my first big break writing stories for Sesame Street video games. Then I helped design and create video games based on books, like Bruce Coville's My Teacher is an Alien and Roxie Munro's Inside Outside World. I got my big break when Byron Preiss commissioned me to write my first novel, Dragon School. I felt like the luckiest person in the world because I got to live my dream!
​
That was 20 years ago! Since then, I've written many more books. I write about Paw Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants, Mickey Mouse and Bubble Guppies for little kids. I write about Fortnite, Minecraft and Terraria video games for bigger kids. I also get to write about cool trends like Fidget Spinners, the K-Pop band BTS, how to record your family history, and a guide to playing Pokemon Go!

None of what I do would be possible without encouragement from my family and friends, the love and support of my amazing husband, guidance from all the fantastic editors, publishers and illustrators I work with, and of course letters and notes from readers like you!

Just the title alone! Get ready to rumble with ZOMBIE MONKS! another great book in this series. You can tell the creators are also fans; there is just that 'spark' you get that comes through and makes the story/art really fun! A great gift idea for friend/family if they like Minecraft!

I did not like this book because I do not like zombies. I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Phoenix and Tom cured all of the zombie villagers with splash potions of weaknesses and golden apples. I also enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Tom finally got home. But the bad thing was that Phoenix didn't get to go home yet.

The book Revenge of the Zombie Monks by Cara J. Stevens is about 2 kids and pets on an adventure to save the monks because if they didn’t the mobs from the nether would come. They are trusting and then not trusting this adult. They find out who turned the monks into zombies and save them. I liked the book because it had action and adventure. They say “Greedy” a lot in the book, and I think the theme is don’t be greedy because they said greedy a lot. I just can’t imagine having my parents into zombies and I was alone with a friend to save them. I recommend this book to people who like action and adventure.

This a great graphic novel. If you like adventures this is the story for you. The novel follows two kids, Tom and Phoenix, in an adventure to save the Xeno's monks. The Xeno's monks guard the knowledge that keeps Xeno and it's people safe, but since they've been turned into zombies there is no one to protect Xeno. It is up to Phoenix and her friends to save the monks and their world. This was a fun read. I recommend this novel if you a fan of Minecraft.

I loved this book because I love minecraft. This book was about Phoenix and T.H. having an adventure to stop the zombie monks and make them back into villagers. I also liked this book because Sally the chicken and Wolfie the baby wolf still don't hurt each other and just play around.
