Minecraft: The Lost Journals by Mur Lafferty

Max and Alison are polar opposites. Max is an impulsive rule-breaker, while Alison prefers to follow the rules. Their lives are both scarred by tragic pasts, and Max's mom has forbade them from doing anything dangerous. But when they find an abandoned cabin so conveniently located by a broken-down Nether portal, they toss rules out the window and are dragged into an epic, life-changing quest.

As an avid Minecraft player, I devoured this book. It had a complicated, intricately crafted (ha - see what I did there?) plot, but not so much that it was tricky to follow. The emotions of the characters were portrayed in a very real and raw way. If you liked The Island by Max Brooks, you would love this book! Disclaimer: Prior knowledge and/or use of Minecraft is recommended before you read this book.
