Minecraft | Litsy

My son and friends are putting together rules for a Minecraft world game. Since son‘s mom is a lawyer (me), he was voted to write the rules. He then got the friends to each sign off and agree to the rules. He says he doesn‘t want to be a lawyer, but ahem, this screams lawyer-wannabe. These are 8th grade boys. I love this! So much better than the trouble we can imagine middle schoolers can get themselves into!

GingerAntics This does look suspiciously like his first contract! lol Love it! 5y

Texreader @GingerAntics Exactly! He even pointed out to me he added the x‘s so they‘d know they were the signature lines! I love this kid! Then he spent an hour showing me an online history/ww2 war game he‘s been playing for hours on end. Then he quotes back the history he‘s learned from it during relevant conversations. He makes my life so fun and interesting (edited) 5y

Minecraft: The Island: A Novel | Max Brooks

If your kid likes Minecraft or you're an adult fan, make sure you get this once the giveaway starts! My husband and I are finishing up the print version, it has a surprisingly unique angle - the MC is from our world & wakes up in Minecraft, the whole book is basically a giant existential crisis full of endearingly cliche self-help platitudes. Gamers will be able to picture the story vividly!

Minecraft: The Island: A Novel | Max Brooks

I'm only half way through "The Island" and I already love it. For a Minecraft novel it's surprisingly mature and heartfelt. Getting Max Brooks to write an official Minecraft novel was a stroke of genius.
