BOOK REVIEW: Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal

What do you get when you cross Minecraft with a graphic novel? Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal, a new book by YouTube star DanTDM.

13 million subscribers

DanTDM's YouTube channel, TheDiamondMinecart, is massively popular, with 13 million people (!) tuning in to watch his videos. He's pretty much conquered YouTube, and Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal is his first book.

We asked OWLconnected reader Scout, 9, to read and review it for us. Check out her thoughts below.

The floor is yours, Scout!

"I read Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal. Here is what happens. Dan and Trayaurus were enjoying a normal day when a shining crystal came rocketing to earth. After a lab test, they found that it was enchanted. But the crystal could be dangerous, especially if it fell into the wrong hands—which it did. After many desperate attempts, can they still save the crystal?

I would rate this book an 8/10 because it is funny, but sometimes confusing. I think other kids would want to read it if they like comics and Minecraft. It was a great book!"
