THE CRAFTER
Ever thought Minecraft could be real? Kenny just found out the hard way.
New town. New school. New world — one block at a time.
When Kenny moves from the lively streets of New York to sleepy Kansas, he expects boredom. Instead, he’s plunged into a game where every block, build and break feels way too real — and the challenges don’t stay on the screen.
Real-world bullies, in-game monsters, and one very sassy cat named Whiskers: every move Kenny makes isn’t just about scoring points. It’s about courage, friendship, and finding his place in a world that’s bigger than pixels.
Sugralinov’s first LitRPG for young readers — insightful, funny, and full of heart. A perfect first “level up” for the gamer kid in your family.
Adventure is calling. Grab your pickaxe, Kenny.
Perfect for young gamers — and the parents who read with them.
