🗡 What Are Skeleton Steve Books?

Skeleton Steve is an unofficial Minecraft-inspired adventure series written specifically to bridge the gap between:

✅ Kids who love video games
✅ Parents who want more reading happening at home

The stories keep the familiar tone kids love from Minecraft gameplay — exploration, danger, weird creatures, and wild surprises — while delivering real fantasy storytelling underneath:

A growing universe of heroes & villains
Meaningful character arcs
Multi-book storylines
Cliffhangers that make kids beg for “just one more chapter.”

Even adults who grew up gaming are discovering the books right alongside younger readers — because these stories don’t talk down to their audience.

Great books for all ages of young Minecraft fans!
“My son has been reading these books for over a year and loves them. He’s now 9. He gets so excited once a new one is published, especially one from the Noob Years series. I especially love that these helped get him to read more. He’s a bright young boy who learned to read young, but didn’t enjoy it for a long time. Now his younger sister, who is 6, is reading Skeleton Steve’s books. They seem to appeal to a wide audience of young readers. Now that my kids all have their own tablets it’s so easy to send them out to everyone!”
– habblie, Parent reviewer

Fantastic, deep stories for kids and adults alike!
“I started reading these Skeleton Steve books for my son, thinking that they were just kid books, and they ARE, but they’re very strong stories with great structure and characters, and they’re addictive to adults as well! Bravo! Skeleton Steve writes with such a sense of adventure and danger! I love the characters’ interactions and connections. This is really high quality stuff. Read it–you’ll be surprised, whether you’re a kid or an adult!!”
– Christine W., Parent reviewer

⭐ Fan-Favorite Adventures

The Noob Years is my longest running and best-selling series! This is the glue that holds all of the other series together. It starts right after the Enderman Ninja series, when the brutal Skeleton King is defeated and shrinks down to … me, your lovable amnesiac skeletal extrovert and author! This series goes through all of my crazy adventures and occasionally synchronizes with other older series, like Creeper King, or Teen Zombie Villager, but from my point of view. It’s epic, and is still going, and once you dive in, you’ll want to binge the whole thing! Click HERE to learn more about the Noob Years!

Elias the Enderman Ninja, the trilogy that helped form the backbone of Diamodia’s epic lore! Follow Elias, back when he was just an initiate ninja on his first Seed Stride as he investigates a bad situation on the Overworld. He befriends Minecraftians, gets caught up in a massive invasion of the dreaded Skeleton King, and learns to master both himself and his ninja skills along the way!

Jack the Kid. What would happen if an actual flesh-and-blood kid fell into Minecraft? He’s got no inventory. No crafting menu. Just hands and feet and a whole lot of heart and game knowledge! A LitRPG is a story that usually focuses on real people dealing with game mechanics when they’re trapped in a game. This is my LitRPG, and it directly involves you, the readers.

Cth’ka the Mighty Creeper King! This series starts with one of the first Minecraft books I ever wrote, and it follows the rise of power of a young creeper who finds and learns to use a powerful artifact that gives him extreme telekinesis! Cth’ka becomes a serious force to be reckoned with, but all along, he only wants to be free of his ‘witch’s bargain’, do good, and unite his creeper people.

✍️ About Skeleton Steve

Skeleton Steve started as a passion project to turn my excitement of Minecraft into something kids would actually read — not a boring “learning book,” but real adventure fantasy disguised as gaming fun. I consider my books to be ‘epic fantasy in a Minecraft setting‘.

Over the years, the ‘Diamodia’ universe has grown into dozens of stories, reached thousands of families, and countless kids who rediscovered that reading could be as exciting as gaming.

So here’s what you’ll find on this website:
