My 11-year-old grandson devoured all of Hayden's books while visiting last week! It was fun to hear his feedback which was all positive! He is very new to Minecraft and told me that the books give him several hints on things he wasn't aware of including one of the potions and things about Doug's crafting table. He asked me if there were more books several times and if I would read them to him! It was fun to see his genuine excitement and interest in the stories!

My 11-year-old daughter loves these books! Our daughter loves Minecraft and axolotls so we got her a few of these books. She loves them!

9-year-old loves! This is the third book we've gotten from this author. My son loves them and keeps asking for more. He's not usually a reader.

United States

Fun book! bought it as a gift and will continue to buy the series for the little one!

Hello Hayden! Just bought 35 copies of the Curious Axolotl for my daughter's 7th birthday party giveaway in April. Her birthday theme is Axolotl Minecraft, and we wanted a book for the giveaway (she's a voracious reader). I was glad to find your book! Super select theme. Best of luck!

It's a great book series. Santa brought this series of books for my son (10) for Christmas. My son reads a TON so we are always looking for new material. He absolutely loves this series and is very impressed and inspired by the 10-year-old author! I have ordered the other books this young lad wrote, and we are excited to see what's in store for future stories.

Great book! This is a lovely book and my 8 year old enjoyed it. Full of pictures.

We really liked your book  'The Axolotl, Adventures in Minecraft'. I am called Emily. I am 7 years old and live in Cornwall in England. My brother is called Tom and he is 8 and he really likes your book too. I am trying to get the whole collection. Tom's favorite part was when Doug met the warden and he threw the snowball but then he whispered again too loudly! I really love axolotls and like learning about them.

 

p.s. I hope you keep writing lots of books!

I'm a special education teacher and my student loves axolotls, which is how I found your books. He's always working on language/communication, so I use the books to work on vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing sentences (he writes a two-sentence summary of each chapter and draws a picture to go with it), etc. Whenever we finish reading one of the books, I let him take it home and keep it, and he's so happy when he gets to do that. Thank you again!

I love your books. They got me into chapter books and I think you'll spread smiles on everyone's faces. I wish you good luck. I'd love to support you in any way I can. A 10 year old fan.

My 8yr old son loves The Axolotl book series and has the first 3. My son will be so excited to get no. 4. Keep encouraging your son to write these books and develop his talents so kids around the world can enjoy them.

I wanted to say that this is a very wonderful book! I think that it should be more well known. I also like the drawings. If you can, can you share my comment with the author and illustrator?

My son Zach loves this series. I really appreciate all of the communication and the effort to get the books to Zach in time. You all are amazing!

All three books arrived today in perfect condition. Thanks for sorting out international mail. I can’t wait to see my sons face when he opens them. I bought him a Minecraft axolotl soft toy and gave as he got a head teachers award last week. He loves it soo much. I’ll keep an eye out for your future books too. My son absolutely loved the three books. Thanks so much for making it happen I appreciate it. We’ll be keeping an eye out for the next three.

Thank you so much Hayden for personally signing the books to my daughter! She loves them already and has started the first book. Great price, item, and shipping time. Hope to see more books from the author soon!

Fantastic! Great book. Our son is ready for #4!

California

Florida

Great little book. My child who loves both Minecraft and Axolotls, loved it.

California

She loved it!!! We bought this book for my daughter's 10th birthday party. The theme for the party was axolotls and so I was just buying up whatever I could find that had axolotls on it. She unwrapped it in true 10 year old form......'oh, a book. Great.' :} The next day I handed it to her and asked her to read it. I told her there were more books in the series, so tell me if you like it or not so I can order the rest of them. She read the whole thing and then had to come and tell me all about it (which she never does). Then she told me that a 9 year old wrote the book! Mind blown!!! Then I had to read it. We just ordered the other three books. GREAT JOB Hayden!!!

United States

So cute! We have the three axolotl books written and my daughter loves them. We hope for more some day. She's a big fan of axolotls and I'm a big fan of the author.

United States

My 9 year old Axolotl/Minecraft loving kiddo loves it! My daughter loves this book, especially since it was written by a kid her age. Great book. She wants the series! Happy to support this young, talented author. Thank you!

United States

Great book! My child loves this book! I enjoyed it too, even more so knowing it was written by a young child.

United Kingdom

Fabulous read! What a fabulous read for any Minecraft lover. I also love that it was written by a child, that’s what made me buy it for my son.

Italy

Perfetto. Top.

United Kingdom

A great mix of Minecraft and Axolotls. I bought this book for my friend's son who was just turning 8 years old. Perfect mix - he loves Axolotls (as do I) and he is just starting to take an interest in Minecraft. I loved the idea that this book was written by Hayden who is only 9 years old and pitched just at the right level to encourage independent reading. Inspirational, well done!

United States

I bought this for my daughter who loves both Minecraft and axolotls. She loves it and is already done reading it. She was amazed that the author was 9 when he wrote the book first. It is inspiring her to write more of her own books.

She told me she liked the story, too. It was fun and kept her attention no problem. I bought the next one that we will give her for Christmas and I will buy the rest when she's ready.

You are my 8 year old son’s favorite author in English. Spanish is his first language and much easier to read in. Your books have really motivated him to take on the challenge of reading in English as well.

United States

Best gift! My son is a huge Minecraft fan, and he's 10 too! I can't wait to give this to him as a gift!

United States

Great book. My 8 and 10 year olds have really enjoyed all of these books! They love the fact that they have been written by someone their age!!

United States

My 10-year old son loves all of these books...He has every single one of them and can't wait for more!

United States

My son loves this series. If you have a kiddo who plays Minecraft, you should definitely get this series! It is so cute, and it is written by a child for children. My 6 and 9 year old have read it together over and over, taking turns on the short chapters. Love the story, and will be buying these as gifts for my nephews, too!

United States

My 6-7 year olds love this series! These are the first books that my son read to himself and by himself all the way through 🫶 thank you to the author for providing interesting books for lovers of Minecraft!

United States

My 9-year-old can't get enough of these books! He loves them. Read them multiple times and is inspired to write his own.

United States

Nice gift for a nine year old boy. My 9 year old nephew loves these books.

Philadelphia

My son is 7, he read all of these books himself and absolutely loved them! He actually cried because it ended with only 4 books, but he so much enjoyed reading them. He finished all 4 in one day, and then re read them over the next 2 days. Cute images too :)

United States

Grandson loves the book!! Purchased for 6 year old Grandson. He read it in no time and requested the rest of the series. He really enjoyed reading the book and telling all about what he read. Very nicely done!!

United States

Written by a child, this is a great text to engage reluctant readers. Relevant content that is popular with kids will draw them right in!
