GeekDad gave a generally favourable review as well, hailing its "straightforward, easy-to-follow story" but criticizing the art style: "Lines are often roughly sketched and colors lack finesse".

These literary works of art are a wonderful way to get middle graders—especially those who may be reluctant to pick up a book—interested in reading and excited to discover new authors and series. Last month the channel received 17m views in a day and his Jurassic World Minecraft video, approved by Stephen Spielberg, has been watched over 13m times. From being woken at 6am (thanks Dan) to be asked if he can watch Dan TDM to it being the first thing he asks when getting home from school, Dan and his channel was driving me insane.

Writing this book not only gives me a new way to tell stories to fans, but a new way to meet them via book tours and signing sessions. His YouTube channel, DanTDM, is the most-watched in the world over the past six months, according to Orion, averaging almost 400m views per month, beating both Taylor Swift and PewDiePie. There’s a chill in the air and the wind is picking up, which means it’s the perfect time for young readers to cozy up with a brand new book.While he has a platform that rivals the biggest social media stars in the world, he is so much more than that. Fortunately, there are myriad ways for your young Minecrafter to disappear into the imaginative digital world they love through the pages of a book, instead of through a screen. The graphic novel will feature all of DanTDM’s best-loved characters as DanTDM and Dr Trayaurus race against time to prevent their archenemy Denton from gaining possession of an enchanted crystal that has the power to wipe out humanity. the enchanted crystal is an amazing book i rated it 5 stars because there is a lot of excitement and thrilling adventures in it and it is a comic so there is a lot of pictures and it is fiction and it is just a good book.

The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.

He is a brilliant and creative storyteller; the characters he’s created within his videos have reach far beyond Minecraft, and I’m thrilled to be working with Dan on bringing them to life on the page.Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal is the debut graphic novel by YouTuber Daniel Middleton (alias DanTDM). Middleton, the book's 24-year-old author, added: "I am so excited to finally be able to take the characters I have created and evolved in my videos on new adventures in my first book.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Fans of the Elementia Chronicles and the Gameknight999 series will be drawn to DanTDM’s tale about an epic power struggle in a high-stakes world. But they're not alone - their archenemy Denton has also found a shard and manipulated its power for evil. DanTDM brings his favourite characters Trayaurus and Grim to life as they race against time to save humanity from the evil Denton in this epic graphic novel. In the UK, Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal was able to reach the first spot of the bestsellers list for three weeks.It arrived at about 10am this morning and my son then spent the next 4 hrs, completely unprompted, reading this from cover to cover! While my son is a capable reader he would never choose to read and it's a battle each evening to get him to read just a few pages of his school reading book. He has created a cloning machine, producing a terrifying, marauding army intent on hunting down the remaining crystals in his effort to become all-powerful. All is forgiven, however, as my son read this book cover to cover over the weekend, turning to the book after football and even after lights out.

dantdm and trayaurus found a crystal that his evil twin wants to get, dantdm then adventures to find all of the crystals he finds pigs that can talk he then realises that the pig has a piece of the crystal on a necklace around his neck.

Rights to publish the book were auctioned by Middleton's management agency OP Talent Limited, and bought by HarperCollins in the US and Trapeze (Orion) in the UK. From the mind of one of the most popular YouTubers of all time, DanTDM, comes a graphic novel adventure that reimagines the Minecraft-style worlds and characters he's created like you've never seen them before. Bought this because the kids are into graphic novels and watch DanTDM on YouTube at their dad's house. He has over 8 billion views on these videos in total, which makes him one of the most-watched channels on the whole of YouTube! But it’s an early work from the team and the story could be tighter (it’s a quest for five items, and the arc going after the last two doesn’t add anything to world building or characterisation, it just serves to split the party).
