Unofficial Overworld Adventures #2
Attack on the Overworld: An Unofficial Overworld Adventure, Book Two
Stevie and Maison have a great friendship where they travel back and forth between the Overworld and the human world. Maison has earned some fame for battling off the mobs at her school, but the attention has also brought about cyberbullies DestinyIsChoice123 and TheVampireDragon555, who have hacked her computer and discovered the portal! Now, through complex coding, the cyberbullies have turned the Overworld into eternal night and unleashed a pack of zombies, allowing their griefing to reach a whole new level.
Things become even worse when DestinyIsChoice123 and TheVampireDragon555 are bitten and turn into zombies themselves. Because they’re human and not Minecraft characters, they have all the powers of a zombie while retaining their intelligence, creating a new breed of zombies. TheVampireDragon555 is even able to control and rule over the zombies, letting him raise his own army.
Stevie and Maison run for the village to warn everyone, but it’s too all the villagers have been turned into zombies. In the midst of the eternal night they’ll have to fight off zombies, and find supplies to make potions to save the villagers and the Overworld.

Note: While this is Book 2 in the series, it works just fine as a stand alone story. Also, you don’t have to be a Minecraft fan to enjoy this tale.
Maison and Stevie return for another adventure! Though, admittedly, this isn’t one either signed up for. While Maison is visiting Stevie in the Overworld, she realizes her computer was hacked by some cyberbullies and they are most definitely up to no good! Destiny and her cousin wreak zombie havoc in Stevie’s home village.
This was quite a bit of fun and I liked it a little better than Book 1. The stakes were higher as people Stevie knows and cares about are turned into zombies by the bully TheVampireDragon555, who I will just call Vampire Dragon. It was both funny and a little disturbing for Maison and Stevie that Vampire Dragon was turned into a thinking angry zombie. Yep, you got that right – a Vampire Dragon zombie loose in the Overworld! Cue evil laughter!
I liked that the cyberbullying issue wasn’t a simple thing in this tale. Davidson does a great job of showing multiple facets to this real-life problem. Through the characters of Destiny and Vampire Dragon, she shows us a few reasons why bullies do what they do. Then through Maison and Stevie she shows what those targeted by the bullies can do. Sometimes it takes a few choice kind words and sometimes greater actions, perhaps using a sword, are needed.
While there is an obvious underlying message about bullying, the story works really well in the action and plot department. Maison really shines as a character as she feels very responsible for the bullies making their way into the Overworld and yet she doesn’t give up hope in saving the zombified villagers. She also has to make a leap of trust that could turn the tide one way or another.
Over all, it was a fun listen and makes me want to check out Minecraft and see what adventures I could go on.
I received a free copy of this book.
The Narration: Dan Woren is the perfect vampire dragon zombie! His voice for that character was excellent – a bit raspy, a bit evil, and a bit wannabe ruler of the world. I loved it! His character voices were all distinct and his female voices were definitely feminine. He sounds totally engaged in the plot as well, easily pulling off all the emotions the characters go through.

I’m reading this series with my kids. I really like the stories and love how each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. It has really kept my kids interested and wanting more. The chapters are usually only 3-6 pages so it’s great for a quick story before bed or would be a good amount of text for them to read themselves. We’re ready to see what Stevie and Maison will do in book three!
And, without giving anything away, book two was actually used in text-book form because the the potion ingredients needed for a certain something really worked on the game. It was tested. :)

very exciting we have been playing Minecraft and reading together my 8 year old boy loves it. we have had fun picturing this story in our minds as we read as well as guess what would happen next each chapter made us think even harder of how they would fix there situation, or what we would do if we were them. we can't wait to check out the next book in the series from the library.

Great book and plot! This the series you want to read if you want a short Minecraft story that actually has a good plot unlike most short Minecraft stories I have read.

This book is excellent. It makes you worry about Destiny, mad at Yancy, and crave for more adventure! If you like MineCraft, adventure, or daring you’ll LOVE this book!

I really like this book because it is all about Minecraft and I really like science fiction. The part I liked most was the battle to save the village. The hackers were interesting villains.

I read this book aloud to my son Arun. Arun is obsessed with Minecraft and less obsessed with reading. I figured that any book that catches his attention must be ok. Now, needless to say, this book is not "great" reading. However, there is nothing like reading to your child before bedtime or on a rainy afternoon. We had already read the first book, Escape from the Underworld, and Arun wanted to read this. (Yea! Wanted to read!!) The two main characters are Maison (a girl) and Stevie (a boy) are imbued with gender counterintuitive characteristics, which is a nice twist. This makes the book appealing to all Minecraft fanatics. Arun gives it 4 stars and I would, too, although for different reasons. Recommended for 1-3 graders with a love of Minecraft. *Note that I don't think this book holds much appeal for the non-Minecraft reader.
