An OP Alliance

An OP Alliance Synopsis

For the first time ever, fans of Minecraft and the hit series Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior can enjoy their favorite characters' quests in fun and fully illustrated graphic novels for middle grade readers.​

Runt is not a village boy like all the others. Growing carrots doesn't really interest him, and selling them interests him even less. All he wants is to be a warrior! One day, he gathers up all his courage and decides to head off on a journey. He meets a zombie who dreams of being a human, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey. Follow these two unlikely friends as they trek across the Minecraft universe in search of excitement and a little bit of danger.

This new graphic novel series is an adaptation of the bestselling Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior series. Readers ages 8-10 will reconnect once again with their favorite characters in a familiar Minecraft-inspired world and embark on new, heart-pounding adventures.

Filled with expressive full-color artwork, visual jokes, rapid-fire dialogue, Minecraft-inspired creatures, crafting, combat, exploration, and survival challenges, this is a strong choice for gaming fans ages 7-12, independent readers, and children who enjoy humorous, fast-moving graphic adventures.
