S1 Book Group Choice

"Quest for Justice" by Sean Faye Wolfe

 

A Minecraft based fan-fiction book. This is the first in the series. Don't be put off by the cover because it is a great book with an excellent story line. You don't need to be a Minecraft player to  enjoy this book. The Book Group really loved this novel by a very talented and young new author.

Should we buy more of these for the school library? Let us know what you think.
