Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten: A Call to Arms: An Unofficial Minecraft Adventure by Cube Kid continues the story of Eeebs, a kitten with the superpower of monsters in the world of Minecraft.
The story starts exactly where the first book left off, Eeebs learning more about his powers and finding a way with the mage to help villagers.

This is the second book kitten in Minecraft world by Cube Kid and Narrated by Michael Gallagher, funny and entertaining.

Many Thanks to Andrews McMeel Audio and NetGalley for the ARC, I have given my honest review.

We finished this one last night (my son and I) and he is a hurry to find the other's so HE can read it solo. I love that for him.

What a world!

Thankfully for me, I'm a bit more familiar with this world now, so I was able to follow along and enjoy this lively tale. I enjoyed Michael Gallagher's performance in the audio version. This is a fast paced story, and he does a lovely job.

This audiobook series is a great way to tempt grade school and middle school aged kids to reading, and their folks will enjoy it too.

thank you to Andrews McMeel Audio via NetGalley for providing an audiobook copy of Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten for the purpose of my honest review, all opinions are my own

Thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the audio ARC of this!

Perfect for the younger end of middle grade Minecraft fans, my daughter (8) is obsessed with this series. This was no exception, but she demanded the ebook alongside the audio because she didn’t want to miss out on the illustrations. For a kiddo who needed some support reading, this would be perfect alongside the physical or ebook. The narrator did a good job.

A amazinf (not typo) book that at first looks like Roblox, Cube kid combines awesome and vivid illistations with mystical creatures from the game and some other, shall I say, more wonkier creatures. The second book of this "Tales of an 8-bit kitten" series, Cube Kid introduces us to the villagers from his other series, "Diary of a 8-bit Warrior." Eebs the main character, who is a cat that was chosen to save the world from "The Eyeless One," also known as Herobrine, is destined by "The Prophecy" to meet a villager named Runt. He finally gets to the town but is sent to work with a legion instead. The legion is made out of humans that spawned into Minecraft after their world got wiped out (probably by nukes). I was honestly not surprised that humans destroyed themselves in 2039. Later on he meets a golden skeleton dude, meets a fairy that can summon a monster from the 40th dimension, and destroys a tail whipper dragon. I would happily recommend this to anyone.

I love the story

[Charisa Flaherty · Rating 3 out of 5]

The kid enjoyed this (but not as much as the first one). I’m not crazy about the series. I don’t like the way the author has the stats and other actual game things in the book.

Good :)

I just love it sooo much!

I received a free digital audiobook of "Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten: A Call to Arms" by Cube Kid and narrated by Michael Gallagher in exchange for an honest review of the title.

This four hour audiobook is fantastic reading for upper elementary and on through middle school. The second in the "Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten" series, "A Call to Arms" continues to follow Eeebs on his hero's journey to protect Villagetown. As a kitten turned Minecraft warrior, Eeebs has a lot of questions about the world around him, making the series approachable for both Minecraft beginners and experts alike. The story's pacing strikes a perfect balance between action-packed and expositional, again, to the title's approachability for those new to the Minecraft realm. Cube Kid's word choice makes his series immersive, easily devourable, and a welcome challenge to budding readers. Michael Gallagher's voice acting adds depth and character to Cube Kid's work. With a full cast of characters, Gallagher seamlessly moves through the characters' voices. Gallagher does not shy away from monster sound effects either, something that I believe would endear him to young readers. I recommend "Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten" to 3rd - 6th grade, reluctant readers, young gamers, and as a good choice for a parent-child read.

Tak táto knižka je pre zmenu pre synovca, .... Miluje keď s ním hrajem Minecraft i keď teda som Noob čo sa často utopí, občas sa zakope, keď sa nechce zakopať, ale baví ho to.

Ak máte doma Minecrafťáka čo si v hre stavia real life veci ako OBI obchod, obrovskú horskú dráhu naprieč kontimentom a stromami, .... bude sa mu to páčiť a to som príbeh koťata jedna nečítala.

Príbeh je o mačiatku, čo sa ocitlo v minecraftovom svete, dokonca aj ľudia sa ocitli zničo nič v minecraftovom svete a buď problém mobov(zombíkov a hávede) ignorujú a žijú v "novej realite", alebo bojujú a chcú problém vyriešiť čo je prípad mačaťa a jeho kamarátov. Sice hráčska hatlamatika mi nehovorila nič najprv postupne si človek zvykne a zahĺbi sa do deja aj keď je len noob bez znalostí. Je to klasický príbeh nooba bez skúseností, ktorý sa stane hrdinom s množstvom skúseností.
Myslím, že synovec sa veľmi poteší a dá tomu 5 *****, má väčšinu kníh od Cube Kid Official

This is the 2nd book of the series. I loved this story so much that I am going to read the first book.

Eebs, the main character, is a cat in a new town. Eebs is the chosen one

Throughout the story, Eebs learns about his new surrounding and how to level up.

I would recommend this book to a middle-grade student.

I just reviewed Tales of an 8-Bit Kitten: A Call to Arms by Cube Kid. #Talesofan8BitKittenACalltoArms #NetGalley

[Mew Clawfur · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay things just started getting so fucking weird and confusing. A billion characters get introduced (must've been in another book of Cube Kid's) and then there's this big fight, Eebs gets a cat person form, so much happened. I'm giving this a 3/5 because while it's confusing at least it was entertaining. I really hope the next of this is better, it seems like hopefully the cast of characters will be smaller next one I hope?

[Jason · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just awful. The first book had its charms because at least the characters were fun. But the sequel? Ugh. It introduces about 30 new characters and doesn’t differentiate them or make you care about them at all, and it spends huge portions of the book explaining Minecraft battle mechanics…it’s like having someone describe to you the video game they were playing. I’ll read anything to my kiddo, but man, was this tedious.

[Ezra R · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an awesome book to read, especially after reading the first one! its really well written & explanatory. it introduces new mobs to the world, & gives Eeebs new adventure around every corner. i could defiantly read these over & over again. if youre reading this before the 1st book, read that one first!

[OjoAusana · Rating 5 out of 5]

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Requested this book knowing a few kids who love minecraft and really wanted to check them out, i think this book and the rest of the series will be a real winner with all of them, going to look into getting some as gifts!

This was definitely a good follow up to the first book in the series. I'm sad there are only two books. I hope the author comes out with more.

[Alexandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

The adventures is continuing... Although this is book offering fable about adventure of kitten, but not lack of fun. For year my son love playing Minecraft and I am sure he will like this cute story.
This story capable to make a good highlight about friendship, consequences of decisions and adventures. I never imagine a little kitten have such bravery and big heart.

Thanks Netgalley for providing this book.
