In the vein of Homer and Ovid's epic-poem style comes Adam Sealon and the Dragon's Egg, which uses a poetry style to tell this story of a young boy and the ultimate discovery.

If you're looking for a way to share both fantasy and the love of poetry with your child as I was, you'll definitely enjoy this book and reading it aloud together. The rhyming format is creative and sure to elicit a giggle or two. Very cute. I'd love to see a sequel. ~ Review by Sam G TOP 1000 REVIEWER

5.0 out of 5 stars 11-year-old grandson thought it was "fantastic" By Grandma PK

My grandson got this book as a Christmas gift. As soon as he opened the package he headed for a soft place in the sun to lay down & start reading. Later he read it for 45 minutes in the bathtub. When I tried to turn out the light to go to sleep he pleaded with me to let him read to the end of that section because the story was "fantastic". He had finished the book by 7 am the morning after Christmas. Now he intends to read it again.
This exciting action/adventure novel is a fast paced book that keeps the reader engaged until the last page. It addresses issues about cyber-bullying and the value of friendships and is resonating with people of all ages.

*****

Note from Seann: This book is for ages 10+. Invasion of the Overworld: A Minecraft Novel has 221 reviews. Mostly 5 star. Wow! That is impressive.

An excerpt:(Kindle Locations 348-359)

Stopping quickly, Gameknight just barely avoided falling into a cavern where he would’ve likely taken damage. Slowing his pace, he proceeded more carefully, avoiding the many caverns and crevasses in this world.

What an interesting map.

It was like nothing he’d ever seen before. The village appeared as he crested the next hill. It was your standard village with crops at the center near the well, small structures surrounding the fields, and larger buildings on the periphery. Dispersed amidst the wooden homes were the stone buildings that looked castle-like, with a tall two story tower rising above the rest of the structures. And of course there were the villagers, maybe twenty of them. Most of them were hiding in their homes because it was dark, and night time was monster time.

There were monsters all throughout the village: spiders, skeletons, zombies, and the occasional enderman.

Excerpt of a review by L.J - AWESOME

As some of the other reviewers have pointed out, this is a book for OLDER kids. My 11 year old son said it was AWESOME. He said the main character was really cool and there were tons of lines that cracked him up. I hope the author comes out with some more Minecraft novels soon.

Invasion of the Overworld: A Minecraft Novel is Available on Amazon!

The Leprechauns Tale

A magical journey, full of twists and surprises. Fasten your seat belts. The stakes have never been higher. Enjoyable for the entire family. A roller coaster ride leaving you wanting more. I look forward to reading more adventures of the twins Dougal and Derry.

~ Review by Brian Perry - Actor in "Murphy Brown", "Days of Our Lives" & "Just Shoot Me"

I must say, as soon as I landed on the home page of theosheachronicles.com, I was in a state of delight. Maybe it is because I am from an Irish background and anything Irish gives me an immediate boost of happiness. This is a series of books. Here is what the author behind the author has to say:

 "Seamus’ compelling new fantasy adventure series whisks readers off to a world where villains and heroes are unlike any creatures they’ll ever encounter on earth. Set to become a family classic, the first volume titled ‘The Leprechauns Tale’ focuses on everyone’s ultimate dream – to become a hero."

Invasion of the Overworld: A Minecraft Novel

MINECRAFT!!! Invasion of the Overworld is the most successful Minecraft novel of all times. This is an adventure novel that is great for kids, especially those that play Minecraft, but also has a strong message about the anti-social ramifications of cyber-bullying. 

My son loves this book so far. It is the first chapter book without pictures that he can't put down.

~ By Michelle Hammond on Amazon

and...

"This is a great book. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. As a Minecraft fan, the concept was top notch and thrilling. The author's imagination crafted something that makes you feel like you're in the book, and in the game itself with the main character. Great for average readers 8+. Make sure to read the   other books in the series when they come out!" By Mike on Amazon

Book Description:

Gameknight999 loved Minecraft, reveled in building fabulous structures, playing on servers, creating custom maps, but most of all, he loved to grief.  As the self-proclaimed King of the Griefers, Gameknight played the game for himself at the expense of everyone else, keeping the list of his friends in the game short, extremely short.

But when one of his father’s inventions teleports him into the game, Gameknight is forced to live out a real-life adventure within the digital world of Minecraft.  Unsure if he would respawn if killed in the game . . . maybe he’d just disconnect . . . or maybe he’d really die . . . Gameknight must play the game with all of his skill and knowledge in order to avoid the sharp claws of zombies and pointed fangs of spiders.

While living out this terrible and painful adventure, he discovers the most well-kept secret about Minecraft, something not even the programmers realize; the creatures within the game are alive!

His emergence into the game triggers a war that threatens to consume all of Minecraft and possible the physical world as well.  Gameknight must fight through the electronic world, with his new NPC friend, Crafter, and his only user friend, Shawny, as he fights epic battles, the mobs on the server seeking to destroy everything, stuffing out all life, everywhere.  Gameknight is the key to salvation for all the electronic lives in Minecraft and possibly in the physical world as well . . . or maybe he’s not the key at all, maybe he’s the fuse to destruction.

"I really enjoyed teaching physics to teenagers for many years.  Seeing the light bulb turn on in students and being there when they realized the wonders of nature would always be rare and exciting experience, however, after fifteen years, I decided I needed a change." ~ Mark Cheverton
