Minecraft is one of the most popular games on the planet, so it should come as no surprise that the game has been spun off in a variety of directions over the years. Along with a variety of games (Legends, Dungeons) and an upcoming movie, dozens of official Minecraft books have been launched into the wild. These run the gamut from comics and young adult novels to reference books and strategy guides. Many books are currently on sale or listed for cheap--so if you need a fun way to bide time until A Minecraft Movie arrives next year, these are certainly worth a closer look.
Young Adult Novels
You’ll find a staggering 22 official Minecraft novels up for grabs, though the most compelling might be the first in the series--The Island. Written by Max Brooks, the author of World War Z, it tells a survival story that’ll be instantly familiar to fans of the game. Once you’ve flipped through its 288 pages, you’ll find plenty of other young adult novels on sale in the series, including stories that follow Minecraft Legends and Minecraft Dungeons.
