Trail-Mix Readers discussion

I am so excited to share with you the second BOTM for March! I happened across this book while perusing Google plus and have read it with my daughter, who is a minecrafting genius. This book probably set the stage for my daughter's current love for reading and I am happy to announce to you:

Stone Marshall's Rescue Island

The world is in trouble and needs a Minecraft hero.

Flynn, a hacker, enters a familiar but changing video game world where something goes terribly wrong.

Flynn gets stuck inside the game! His memory is lost and the dangers he faces are real. The game world evolves introducing new dangers and creatures that Flynn has never seen before. An intelligent creature comes to his aid, but can Flynn trust this digital being?

About the Flynn's Log series: In the near future, video games begin to change and evolve. Random bits of data create a virtual intelligence that takes over the digital world. A digital crisis is born, bringing the real world to a halt. The only person who can save the world is Flynn, but he needs help from his friends, the Hackers.

I've snagged it. My kid is gone for the week, so I won't be starting it until next week. He loves these kind of books. :)

So does Coral! We are continuing the saga today. She's all about reading on the weekends now. I'm so proud!

Got my copy today. Gonna check it out.

Wow, this was a lot of fun. I need to get the physical series to save for my daughter. I'll post my official review later.

I love ebooks, but there is something magical about holding a "real" book. It's so much fun to read that way.
A local bookstore ordered a bunch of my books, so ironically I was sitting and signing paperbacks when I read your post about physical books.

>>>REMINDER<<<

One more week to get your reviews in. If you have any questions for Stone Marshall, please ask away!

Thank you to everyone who is participating this month, you guys are awesome! <3

That is so funny!

Hey Stone, I am going to be initiating a homeschool project with my daughter. Would you mind if she sent you a letter with some questions or maybe an email with some interview questions?

I utterly rave about this book to everyone I know who plays Minecraft. I adore the story that Stone Marshall has created here. Flynn finds himself suddenly a digital player in a Minecraft world; the story takes you through his days beginning as a new digitized person and how he comes to find his purpose in the game.

The best thing I can say about this book is that it gave my daughter the desire to learn to read. I am a homeschooling parent and I was honestly afraid my daughter would hate reading for her entire life. And then I found this book. I started reading it to her, hoping against hope to ignite a fire for books in her. That was two months ago. Now she is reading it to me (re-reading). Two months ago, I was lucky to get her to read an early reader book, and because of this one I have a girl who loves a good story and is happy to learn to read it for herself.

That is the best thing I can say as a mom, author, and reader. As a reviewer, I think this story is fantastic, the characters and plot draw you in and let you escape into a world full of mystery, surprise, danger, and adventure. it is well written and a highlight of elementary/middle-grade reads.

I'd be happy to respond to your daughters questions.

I've put my review on GR and on Amazon. My kid and I really enjoyed it. :)

Thank you! I appreciate your support. Big thanks to Jessica's Book of the Month Club! This was lots of fun.
