Description

Ever thought Minecraft could be real? That's what Kenny learned when he moved from the lively streets of New York to sleepy Kansas. Suddenly, he's been plunged into a game where every block, build, and break feels way too real. And guess what? The challenges aren't just on-screen. Kenny faces real-world bullies along with in-game monsters; thankfully he's got his sassy cat, Whiskers, and some unexpected pals at his side. Each move isn't just about scoring points—it's about finding his place in this crazy new world. Ready for an adventure that's bigger than pixels and full of surprises? “So, what happens when LitRPG is crafted for kids? And not just any book, but one that’s insightful, humorous, and features a protagonist who evolves throughout the story. A hero who becomes stronger and ‘levels up’ not just within the game’s constraints but also in real life? The answer is ‘The Crafter,’ penned by the LitRPG maestro, Dan Sugralinov.” — Children's Literature Dive into The Crafter, and join Kenny on his quest to be both a game master and a hometown hero!
