Big quests, brave friends, and the coolest dragon around! Ready your sword for the adventure of a lifetime with Runt and his crew in this 6-book box set of full-color Minecraft-inspired graphic-novel adventures.

Description

These popular graphic novels adapt the international bestselling Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior series, reuniting readers with their favourite characters in a familiar Minecraft-style world for new, heart-pounding adventures.

This six-book box set contains:

An OP Alliance: Runt doesn’t want to grow and sell carrots like other villagers, but dreams of being a warrior. He teams up with a zombie who longs to be human, and together they set off on an extraordinary journey.
An Ominous Threat: Runt and his crew of a friendly zombie, a loyal wolf, and a clumsy human set out to defeat the Ender Dragon. Along their quest, they face an even more mysterious new enemy.
Another World: Runt and his friends return from the End and hope for a long-needed rest. Unfortunately, things are not what they seem, and a desperate pursuit to bring back a lost friend arises and splinters the group along the way.
Battle for the Dragon: The gang must first win over the baby dragon, Sweetpea, before they can take on the Minecraftia villain, Herobrine. They are challenged to work together to defeat their evil foe or risk losing any more friends.
Journey to the Far Lands: Runt, Blurp, and Bagel journey to the legendary Far Lands on their dragon, Sweetpea, but aren’t quite ready for Bagel’s cursed, little sister, Biscuit, or any of the surprises she brings with her. They encounter a new foe, Entity303, who raises the stakes as they head towards the Evoker’s mansion.
Finding the Witch: After leaving the Far Lands, Biscuit, Bagel, Blurp, and Runt realise their dragon has been kidnapped by Entity303. They scheme to infiltrate his lair to rescue Sweetpea, but their daring mission leads to a new adventure because Entity isn’t the only foe they’ll have to face.

Grab your sword and dive into all six adventures—Minecraft fun without the screen!
