It’s summertime and you know what that means? Kids sitting at home and playing video games all day. Now this is where most parents will say to their kids, “If you’re going to stay inside all day, at least read a book”. I wholeheartedly agree, kids should read more books. However, if parents want their kids to read more, they should at least let them read something that’s fun, related to what they like and doesn’t feel like homework (ie summer reading list). And what’s the number one thing most kids like right now? That’s right, it’s Fortnite.
For parents wondering what is Fortnite, Fortnite is a free-to-play third person battle royale game where the objective is to be the last person, duo or squad standing, all the while trying to avoid a deadly cloud barrier that is closing in towards a predetermined spot. This forces players/teams to come in contact with each other as they battle to be the last one standing. There are other modes within the game, but for now this is just a brief explanation of the main game mode. So what does Fortnite have to do with getting kids to read? Easy, the 100% Unofficial Fortnite Pro Guide from Becker&Mayer! Books.
The 100% Unofficial Fortnite Pro Guide is a book that gives players a basic understanding of what Fortnite is, how to play, various tips & tricks, information about different areas of the map and many other things like cosmetics and story elements. The pictures are bright, colorful and detailed and everything is explained in a way that’s understandable to new players and pros alike. The book is clearly aimed towards kids and young adults/teenagers, as they are the main demographic for Fortnite. However even older adults who know nothing about Fortnite can read this and understand the game a bit easier. In fact parents can use this book as a way to relate to their kids and maybe sit down and join them in a session of Fortnite.
If you’re looking for something fun for your kid to read over the summer or want to know more about Fortnite, then the 100% Unofficial Fortnite Pro Guide is a great way to pass the summer days. The book is priced at $7.56 on Amazon and is set to release on July 16.
