If your child is all about Minecraft, this series is a sure win. The Minecraft Woodsword Chronicles books bring the world of Minecraft to life in a way that’s screen-free but every bit as adventurous. The stories follow a group of friends who find themselves inside the game and have to use teamwork, creativity, and courage to navigate the pixelated universe—just like real players do.
We own this set at home, and I’ve loved reading it aloud to my kids. The chapters are short, the action is steady, and the books are written with a sense of humor and imagination that keeps everyone interested—whether your reader is new to chapter books or devours them by the stack.
Who This Gift Is Great For
Kids who love Minecraft (especially elementary/middle grades)
Reluctant readers who need a fun series to hook them in
Families looking for a read-aloud everyone can enjoy
Birthday, holiday, or back-to-school gifts
Why We Love It
Perfect for Minecraft fans ages 7–12—especially for those ready to move from picture books to something with a little more story
Encourages reading for fun with stories full of adventure, friendship, and classic Minecraft challenges
Great for reading aloud or independent reading—my kids often ask to read “just one more chapter”
Screen-free, but still “cool” (if you have a Minecraft kid, you know how important that is)
Wrapping It Up & Where to Buy
When you can connect a book to something your child already loves, reading feels a little less like homework and a lot more like an adventure. The Woodsword Chronicles makes that leap easy, and it’s a series I’d recommend to any Minecraft-loving family.
