If you like Minecraft or quests then you will enjoy this book. I have several friends who are HUGE followers of everything MC; and they really liked this book. Truth be told it is the 'social science' part of me that made me want to read this book. Always amazed when something breaks down the door of pop culture so thoroughly!

I loved this book when I was like 8

[Alex]

I enjoyed this book because I love Minecraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Phoenix and T.H. had a golden apple and a potion of weakness and cured Phoenix's brother, Zander. Phoenix and T.H. got the weakness potion from a witch and the golden apple from the golden apple orchard at the monastery.

I would give this book ten stars if I could. There was a talking dog in this book, which was one of my favorite characters. His real name is Alistair, but Phoenix calls him Wolfie. Phoenix is looking for a golden apple and weakness potion. There is an evil witch and three creepers, which the witch is trying to make explode. The creepers are her henchman. There is one skinny one, one short fat one and one normal creeper. Phoenix is looking for stuff because her brother got turned into a zombie villager and she needs those things to turn him back into a normal villager. She also meets this a hermit who becomes her new friend like Wolfie. - Jack, age 10

I picked this up for two reasons. 1) My students are crazy about Minecraft. 2) I needed a book that started with Q for my alphabet challenge.

Now...I know I'm not the intended audience. And I'm sure if I had a little more knowledge about Minecraft and how the game works I would have enjoyed this a bit more.

But oofta. It seems so poorly written, even for a kids book. The humor isn't funny, the "action" is exciting, and the villains aren't scary. The block-like illustrations (I know, I know...that's how the game is) are a bit boring...but quite honestly, probably one of the best parts.

Review For “Quest For The Golden apple”












*Hissssss* What was that? It was a creeper if it gets close enough to deal damage then it will EXPLODE!!!!! Recently I read “Quest for the Golden apple” by Megan Miller. I think everybody should read it. Here are my three reasons

First, the illustrations are three-dimensional which is AMAZING! Next, You can learn some stuff about minecraft. Lastly The main character is Phoenix and her brother, Xander, gets zombified and she goes to get a Golden apple but, she gets chased by wolves and finds a baby wolf in a ravine, and gets caught by a witch but gets a Golden apple from a monastary and a potion of weakness she steals from the witch and unzombifies Xander

I don't think this is necessarily a bad book, however I think this is just not exciting nor gripping plus the art is also just 3D models with a shitty painterly texture slapped onto it and I know because I've seen the exact texture and they show the untextured version. I won't be continuing this one.

[Jae]

Read begrudgingly for book club. It picks up a little at the end, and some of the humor with the hermit and the witch remind me of Peasant's Quest on Homestar Runner. I had a hard time looking at the art though.

[Charlie]

Not as good as I expected.

[Maximilian Lee]

I loved this book because I like minecraft. This book was bout Phoenix trying to cure her brother, Xander by finding a golden apple.

[Joe Palma]

Great adventure

Thank you for writing a fun story about a kid who loves adventure. My boy can totally relate to exploring.

[Pablo]

Es un cómic. Lectura rapidísima. Mala traducción en algunas viñetas.

[Jenaya]

Awesome!

Amazing book! It was very much like Minecraft adventurer, and there was a lot of suspense! Can't wait to read the next book.

[Dexter London]

I think this one will be really good😀

[JP]

I thought it was really good and it reminded me when I play Minecraft with my friends and family.

[Jen]

Meh. This reads like a kid wrote it and the pictures are hard to follow. The ending is not very satisfying, I guess it is a set up for sequels.

[Oscar]

I read the Russian version and I had trouble understanding most of it. The book was good, but I didn't like it.

[Livi]

I liked this book a lot because I love Minecraft! But one thing I don’t like that much is the art. But other wise it’s a good book!

[Amber]

Sean finished it and enjoyed it and would recommend it to others who enjoy Minecraft.
