Minecraft Book Series, 25+ Books Fans will Dig

Book series are great for getting, and keeping kids reading. If you know of a Minecraft fan (and who doesn’t!?) this is the list for you.  Each of the selections here is a Minecraft Book Series for boys – you know they are going to love these.

These books feature all the goodness of Minecraft with Steve, Herobrine, redstone, hostile mobs such as creepers and zombies, and of course, mining adventures. They are fun to read but we are not exactly talking well-written classic literature here 😉

As I mentioned above these are to be considered fun books. Some of them are self-published or put out by a company that had multiple authors working on the series. There are sometimes typos and grammatical errors in the books but that usually makes for good conversation about quality and how people perceive a book when it includes errors. They are going on our book series for boys list because of content and because they certainly get kids reading.

Want to get your Minecraft fan reading? Try these Minecraft book series! They won't be able to put them down. 25 plus books and more on the way. Click the image to see the list.

Minecraft Book Series for Boys

Diary of a Minecraft Zombie is an amusing series modeled after Diary of a Whimpy Kid. Follow along with 12-year-old Zombie and his friends as they navigate Minecraft and get themselves caught up in some crazy adventures. At the time this book list was created there were seven books in the series.

Here is a another selection along the lines of Diary of a Whimpy Kid, Minecraft Diary: Wimpy Steve There are seven books in this series as well as some companion books and joke books. Steve is trapped in a Minecraft game and you get to read all about his adventures while he is there.

Invasion of the Overworld is the first in the Gameknight999 series and also has a boy teleported into the Minecraft game. This one is a bit more intense that the Whimpy Steve series and has a survival theme. The series actually made it to the New York Times bestseller list. It has a lot of good reviews on Amazon and was a winner in our household.

The second series by the author above is The Mystery of Herobrine with the first book titled Trouble in Zombie-town: Gameknight999 needs to enter Minecraft again to save his little sister. Characters from the 1st series make an appearance as do new characters and they come together to battle the zombie king. Currently three books in the series.

Saving Crafter: Herobrine Reborn is part of the new Herobrine Reborn Minecraft book series. To give you an idea of content: “The powerful evil held within Herobrine’s prison is leaking out into the fabric of Minecraft and attacking Crafter, the most sensitive NPC on the server and Gameknight999’s best friend. With Crafter’s life in jeopardy, Gameknight999 and his father, a Minecraft noob, have no choice but to return to the game again.”

The Quest for the Diamond Sword: An Unofficial Gamer’s Adventure This series starts out with Steve, quite happy with his Minecraft life, suddenly finds that zombies have attacked the village and turned the blacksmith into a zombie. Steve sets out to make sure he can still get swords and goes on a quest to find diamonds. He meets other treasure hunters along the way. There are three books in this series.

Quest for Justice is part of the Elementia Chronicles Minecraft book series. It was written by a 16-year-old boy and features three friends who are playing on a server and find they have to defend themselves against experienced players and nmore. There are three books in this series to date.

There you have it – over 25 books on Minecraft book series for boys to keep your Minecraft fan happy.

My boys love the gameknight series and I must say I have learned far more about Minecraft by reading it with them!
