Book reviews for kids, by kids- Invasion of the Overworld

May 19, 2015

For those of you who are looking for new books appropriate for middle grade that both boys and girls might enjoy, this is the place to look!

Every month, at least one new book will be added for review right here and they will be reviewed by the best critics, KIDS! That’s right, the one’s who read them will be the judge!

This blog is written by my nephew Sam, like most boys he loves games. So when it comes to reading he likes his books to be about his games. He also likes to read comics…any kind of comics. He likes the BFG, by Ronald Dahl also. Introducing Sam,

“Hi. My name is Sam and I’m in the 7th grade. I love soccer and play on the school team. I like computer games like Minecraft, Roblox, Aliens vs. Predator, and am working on my Star in Boy Scouts of America. I love to hike, climb, and camp with my dad and family. I love egg sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. I love going on vacations with my family. When we went to Sedona last year I went on a lot of hikes with my dad, and we even played in a river.”

And now, introducing our next middle grade book review for kids, by kids!

Book review on Invasion of the Overworld

by Mark Cheverton

Setting:

This book took place in Gameknight999 house,which is a house inside our world. Then Gameknight999 gets teleported to his favorite game Minecraft. Minecraft is a game that is made out of blocks and has mobs like zombies that attack you and has other players are in the world you can play with you or kill you and destroy your creations.

Main Character:

The main character is Gameknight999 is 12 years old who has a little sister who he actually loves in the real world. Gameknight999 is different when he play Minecraft. He “trolls” people in the game which means he’s basically mean in the game.

Gameknight999 ruins the gaming experience for everyone but himself. That all changes when he gets teleported into the actual game of Minecraft. Think of the movie Tron and how the main character gets sucked into the computer.

Personal Review:

I liked this book, and the good thing is that this series continues. Gameknight999 learned some good lessons. He learned how to treat people in the game world. He learns new secrets like villagers can talk, feel pain, and have feelings. There is a secret place underground place under each village. Gameknight999 makes a friend who shares all these game secrets with him, and his name Crafter. Gameknight999 is still trapped in the Minecraft world at the end of this book.

Till next time,

Author Bio

Linda

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
