Purchase options and add-ons
Simon, Michael, and Lily are playing on a multiplayer server when a strange lightning storm hits their town. In the middle of an intense game, a bolt of lightning strikes, sucking the three friends into the game! They discover that they’ve been transformed into their Minecraft characters. They try to escape, but they are trapped in the Overworld!
While battling other players and hostile mobs, Simon, Michael, and Lily try to find a way home. Just when they are ready to give up, their town is attacked, and Simon’s Minecraft home is destroyed. The friends now have to find out who is terrorizing them, and if the same person is responsible for trapping them in the game.
If the trio can find and defeat the evil villain, will they finally be able to make a home in their favorite game? It’s a battle against an unknown enemy in this first installment of the new Unofficial Minetrapped Adventure series.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016Winter Morgan delivers again! My seven-year old son adores Minecraft, and these books allow him to engage his imagination and play out Minecraft with familiar characters in new storylines. At first we started out reading them together at bedtime, which quickly turned into him taking them to school, which then turned into him reading to himself after "lights out" just so he could finish the story. The books are priced just right, but at the rate he's reading, I'll be picking up four titles a month! Thanks for helping to make engaged readers at such an early age!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018I Ordered these for my grandson for Christmas - he is nine years old and an avid reader. He read this in one day and has since read it, and the other three in this series at least one more time since then. He can't wait to get the next books.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2016I've been reading this series with my 7 year old daughter. She LOVES them. I've been frustrated with a few minor editing mistakes since we are reading aloud. But the stories are interesting for Minecraft fans and my daughter keeps begging for the next book. We are up to book 4 and she's getting the rest for Christmas!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2016Got the 3-book set for my grandson, who loves the Minecraft software game. This is a great way to encourage reading by young "gamers". Not only is he enjoying these books, but his younger brother has also started reading them!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016My son loves Winter Morgan and all of her Unofficial Minecraft books. If you have a Minecraft lover in your home these would make a great addition to your bookshelf.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016My grandson loves this series! He's in 4th grade and it's hard to please him!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016My immediate reaction to this was that it was better than it had any right to be.
The Kiddo (my eight-year-old son) picked this out during an expedition to a bookstore at a mall in Singapore. It's an "unofficial" Minecraft tie-in, and the basic story had three kids who enjoy playing Minecraft on a multiplayer server getting zapped into the game world by a freak lightning storm, which is really just the thinnest of possible excuses to get the story rolling.
Once in the Minecraft world, they are targeted by a villain named Mr. Anarchy, who seems to have some involvement in the trapping of people from Earth in the game world.
My son plays Minecraft. I don't play that much, but I knew enough of the basic concepts to understand what was going on.
The story and characters were more nuanced than I had expected, and they actually have some really interesting conversations about their conflicting desires to stay and enjoy the world of the game they all love so much versus missing their homes and families.
I particularly liked the character of Lily, who instead of building an extravagant palace in the Minecraft world, has crafted a cottage that's a replica of the beach house that her family spends its summers at.
The book does well with gender equality, giving Lily her own narrative arc, having her overcome her fears on her own, and generally treating her as an equal among the three main characters. I was also pleased to see some good female supporting roles.
The action scenes take a bit of getting used to, but they are written to be true to the game mechanics, as characters "lose hearts" if they're hurt, and "respawn" when "destroyed". In some places this game-system combat tends to work against tension of the scene, but several of the battles managed to be reasonably exciting.
The dialogue is a bit stilted, and there was a rather glaring editing error in the climactic battle scene, but considering the low expectations I had going into an "unofficial" video game tie-in, I was happy with how this turned out.
The Kiddo hung on every word of it, and he's eager to check out the next book in this series.
