An Official Minecraft Novel

By: Max Brooks

Narrated by: Jack Black

Two editions, two narrators, one thrilling story. Enjoy this version read by Jack Black, and then be sure to check out the other available version, narrated by Samira Wiley.

The first official Minecraft novel! In the tradition of iconic adventures like Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z tells the story of a hero—stranded in the world of Minecraft—who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive.

Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn’t much time to soak up the sun. It’s getting dark, and there’s a strange new world to explore!

The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island . . . like the horde of zombies that appear after night falls. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava? Especially with no help except for a few makeshift tools and sage advice from an unlikely friend: a cow.

In this world, the rules don’t always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. There are forests to explore, hidden underground tunnels to loot, and undead mobs to defeat. Only then will the secrets of the island be revealed.

Kept my son entertained, injured eye

My son couldn't see for a day; this book saved us from ultimate boredom! 💗

Surprisingly good

Jack Black did a great job narrating. I'm 36 and enjoyed it, and my son who is 7 enjoyed it equally as much. Teaches kids valuable life lessons, which is a bonus.

Best book ever!

I loved this book I've listened to it so much, and jack black does amazing! I just wish that they'd do him in the mountain...

holy shit

jack black is a god among men, and Max is one hell of an author. World War Z was one of the best books ever so I was Stoked to find he wrote this, and Jables reads it flawlessly.

Far more fun than I thought it would be!

An absolutely absurd premise for a story actually told really well. not perfect, but fun!
