Thank you Norwood House Press and Netgalley for letting me read this copy but my thoughts are my own.

My 11 years old son loves Roblox so much. He playing this game daily, and I am curious what make game that look like Lego and so simple with graphic capable mesmerized him. That's why I decided read this book together with him to get real opinion from real target of this book too.

This short book give us glimpse about the idea of why Roblox being create, plenty history of the creator and company growing, the goal of the game to provide entertainment and education for kids, and the statistic of players. They offer us to visit Roblox website for more information too. The informations it self are interest but very basic and short. We wish more details about the game information. Or at least tips for beginner player. This book feel like read prologue of the book and we as reader still need to read the next chapter.

Aah, Roblox, my favourite game. How Rob has to get his hands on the lovely, tasty salmon dish, in front of all the other players... Oh, my bad. I mean, I'm certainly not the age Roblox is aimed at, and that's the key here – given the option, I am sure many young readers picking their non-fiction books for themselves would go for some subject they know enough about already – a book that reinforces their kinship with the topic. And I don't mind if they turn to this, to learn a bit about the history of the enterprising app/game host/developing tool thingy. Especially as American kids, according to the stats herein, spend far too much time in that world anyway. As elsewhere in this small series, each spread is fifty per cent pictorial and up thirty per cent box-out or caption, making the main narrative very bitty at times but perfectly easy to absorb – especially if you're one of the millions of converted already.

This is the comprehensive book about Roblox; the creator and his story behind, the evolution of the game, what to expect when playing the game, As I comprehend, Roblox is a place that you can play some games. Some are free, but there are some that you have to pay money, to get access, for example. There are games you can exclusively play with your friends, and there are games you can play by yourself, meeting other gamers. This is also a game where parents can have a say, and restrict some boundaries to keep their children safe from the internet dangers.
