This is absolutely going to be a must-read for anyone who loves Minecraft, but especially middle grade and early YA readers! As someone who has loved Minecraft for a long time but hasn't played it very recently, reading this totally made me want to dive into a new game. It's such a fun story, and it adds in some great additional elements, like how hard moving to a new place is, the way distance can affect friendships (and what we can do to help our friends not feel alone or neglected), and how valuable it can be to add new friends to the mix, too. These characters are really sweet and I enjoyed how diverse the cast is, with multiple POC characters, a minor f/f relationship blossoming, and a character who goes by they/them pronouns. I can't wait to add this to our collection!

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
