Simple-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for constructing a Minecraft theme park, including a bouncy castle, water ride, haunted house, ferris wheel, roller coaster and animal park. Read about STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) topics in the real world, then put your learning to use within the game, discovering the differences between real life and the Minecraft world.

Using core STEM principles, this book will take you through the process of designing and constructing your own Minecraft theme park from calculating area when building your rides and understanding the different properties of the materials available to you, to learning how gravity and friction affect the speed of your roller coaster. At the end of the book you will have created one amazing theme park, complete with multiple attractions, ticket booths and lighting.

About Anne Rooney

I write short books for short children and longer books for longer people. I've been writing fiction and non-fiction for young people and non-fiction since the last millennium - luckily the end of the last millennium and I'm not even nearly 1000 years old. I particularly enjoy reading and writing stories with a bit of a twist and for older readers an element of horror. I definitely have a Gothic streak. Writers I really admire include Minnie Gray Oliver Jeffers Shaun Tan Edward Gorey Tove Jansson Marcus Sedgwick Siobhan Dowd and Melvin Burgess. I love being a writer because (a) it gives me the chance to be enthusiastic about things and share my enthusiasm with other people (b) I get paid for telling lies and (c) I don't have to do as I'm told unlike people with a real job. I like to listen to music when I'm writing and usually pick a few pieces of music that go with each book and listen to them again and again - most of them are opera. Although I spend most of my time writing I also spend some helping other people with their own writing - mostly young people who are doing a degree at university. This is great fun as I get to read lots of stories by writers who are just starting. I live in Cambridge which is a very ancient city in the east of England with lots of ornate and pointy buildings. It's very flat in Cambridge so it's easy to go everywhere by bicycle but it's also rather wet. If I could live anywhere at all it would probably be in Venice which is also flat ancient and full of pointy buildings. It's even wetter than Cambridge and people go everywhere by boat.
