Book Description
In the best book yet in this blockbuster series, you are brought back to the world of Minecraft, facing the ultimate challenge it has to offer: The End. Trapped in the body of a Minecraft zombie, you have gathered the materials, made the preparations, and finally opened a portal to the End. The prophecy says that your only way home is through this mysterious realm, populated by the alien Enderman and a massive, sinister dragon. As you step through the portal for the first time, you have decisions to make. Will you make the journey yourself or take along your friend and sidekick Gordo, even if it puts him in danger? Maybe you need more allies. Which of the friends you've made so far should you ask? The next installment in the adventure revisits all your favorite places and characters from the first three books. Perhaps you'll go looking for Fibula, the bossy skeleton that showed you the ropes of being a mob. Or maybe you'll reconnect with Teagan, that Creeper that had a crush on you. Or what about those self-conscious Enderman? How about those Zombie Piglins you freed that one time? Preparation is the key to success. Only clever planning will get you through to the end of this book and face-to-face with your final opponent: the Ender Dragon. Good luck! The Zombie Adventure 4: Beginning of the End is a rollicking comedy-adventure for kids aged 8 to 12. Perfect for the lover of Minecraft or the reluctant reader who will be drawn in by getting to choose their own path through the story. Readers will face moral questions, make mischief and explore the meaning of friendship in this fun-filled romp through their favorite game.

Book Description
Dan is playing Minecraft with his friends, like he always does, when a strange figure, white from head-to-toe, approaches him in the game and drops a book at his feet. Cautiously, Dan reads the book: it's an invitation, to a school. A school for only the very best Minecraft players in the country. It has to be a trick. It's probably just a joke from one of his friends.Dan is thinking just that, when there's a knock at the door. A strange woman, dressed in all white, has arrived at Dan's front door. She introduces herself to his bewildered mom and dad with her angelic voice. Her name is Ms. Fennerby and she's a teacher at Herobrine Middle School, an academy for children gifted in the game of Minecraft. Dan has been selected as one of the builders and designers of his generation.It all seems to good to be true.And maybe it is...Herobrine Middle School is a thrilling middle school adventure filled with real emotions, page-turning excitement and characters that will jump off the page and make you laugh. It is Spy Kids and Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, all set to the backdrop of the mysterious world of Minecraft. Perfect for readers age eight to fourteen with a story that will excite all lovers of Minecraft. Excerpt "DAAANNNNN! It's dinner time!" the voice echoed up the stairs. "I'll be right down!" Dan yelled back. "I've just got to save the world!"Dan's mom, who was making a racket in the kitchen that made Dan think she was throwing every pot on the ground, didn't respond. That was okay.Dan didn't want to have to explain anyways. He was saving the world.Well... a world. The Minecraft world that he and a couple friends had been working on for over a year. They had magnificent houses and had built huge statues of their avatars in the game. Dan's pride and joy was built on the server too: The Cow Cannon 2000. The Cow Cannon 2000 did... well it did exactly what you would expect it to. It fired cows at blinding speed into the far away expanses of Minecraft. It fired them so far that Dan and his friends had never found any remains of the cows or the mine carts that they were fired in. The best part is that the machine worked automatically. It lured cows to the machine and then fired them off as soon as they got close enough. Dan was incredibly proud of it. A work of art, he told himself.And, really, everything had been perfect in that huge-housed, massive-statued, cow-raining world, until the griefers had shown up. Somehow, a bunch of older kids had found the server and at first it was fine. They built their own stuff. That was fine. But soon they were bored of that and started destroying anything and everything they could find.Dan had urged his friends to just not react. The griefers would get bored, he thought, and leave them alone. But they didn't get bored. So, it was time to take more drastic measures. The griefers' next target was Platinum Plateau where Dan's friends' houses were built, along with the Cow Cannon 2000. Dan wasn't going to let the griefers anywhere near it. He had spent the last week building a series of "secret" entrances to the plateau via mine cart. The idea was that the griefers would find the "secret" entrances and not be able to resist riding the mine carts into the centre of the plateau to surprise Dan and friends. But little did they know that the mine cart would take them right to the Cow Cannon 2000, and before they knew it, BAM! They'd be taking a free flight, courtesy of Dan airlines.What are you waiting for? Get reading!

But consequences can’t be put off forever, as Bianca learns when she and her best friend, Lonnie, are in a terrible car crash. Waking up in the hospital, almost paralyzed by her injuries, Bianca is faced with questions she’s not equipped to answer.

There are zombies in Owen's bedroom, Endermen at the end of the street, and happy Mooblooms chewing grass in the bathroom. To get to school, Owen has to trek through a shadowy jungle and when he gets there, kids are setting traps in the corridors and leaving notes for each other with signs that the teachers can't see.Owen and his best friend, tech-genius Aya, love living in a parallel universe that belongs just to them and the other kids. It's a place they can decide on their own rules, be who they want and literally build the world of their dreams. They couldn't be happier, but a storm is coming. No one knows who this marchHARE is or what they want, and as the Minecraft world turns dark with hordes of zombies wandering the streets and kids getting hurt for real, Owen and Aya start to worry that it's nothing good...Creepers on the Crosswalk is a thrilling adventure-comedy for kids eight to thirteen who love the game Minecraft Earth.

It's Alice in Wonderland meets Artemis Fowl meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid set in the exciting world of Minecraft Earth. Readers' imaginations will be set on fire as they learn about the technology that makes their favourite game possible and when games can actually hurt us. EXCERPT "We found diamonds! Yes!" Logan shouted. "Haha, you noobs," he said, pointing at the other kids playing nearby on the playground. "We've got diamonds and you dooooon't!""Oh boy," Aya said. "Yeah..." Owen agreed. He watched as Henry and Logan stood together talking about the diamond pickaxes they were planning to make. "Hey," Aya snapped her fingers twice next to Owen's ear. "Wiring?""Oh." Owen examined the right side of the doorframe, where Redstone wiring ran to a dispenser on top of the wall. Aya was better at this stuff than Owen. She was probably only asking to be nice. "Looks good," he said and then pointed her phone up at the dispenser. "But what is that--""Great!" Aya grabbed back her phone as Owen watched it go. "Hey Logan!"The boy turned, looking confused. "What?""That's not a lot of diamonds. That's nothing. I've been collecting a ton of diamonds," she said. "Here." Aya tapped on her phone to invite Logan and Henry to the buildplate for the fort. "I put them all in this chest," she said. "Take a look."Logan raised an eyebrow at Henry and then walked toward Aya. Henry trailed behind, looking sideways at Owen. "You don't have diamonds," Logan said to Aya. "You have to do lots of adventures, and you don't really--"Aya snickered and gestured at the chest in the center of the walled area. "Well then, how did all these diamonds get in this chest?" Logan came marching toward the double-doors and the wooden box past them. He stepped onto the block right in front of the doors which compressed slightly as he did. "That's a pressure plate--" Owen started to say.And then the dispenser overhead spat out a stream of lava right over Logan's head. It flowed over him and pooled on the ground at his feet. Aya cackled. "Hey!" Logan said. His character had 'died,' and he'd been kicked off of the buildplate and could no longer see the fort. "Hey! You--" Aya couldn't stop laughing. Even Owen sniggered. "Whatever..." Logan said, trying not to look annoyed. "I knew you didn't have diamonds anyway!"Aya was too busy laughing to bother with a comeback. The boys stomped away as Aya slowly came back to her senses. "Oh, man!" she said finally. "I love this game."

Logan shouted. "Haha, you noobs," he said, pointing at the other kids playing nearby on the playground. "We've got diamonds and you dooooon't!""Oh boy," Aya said. "Yeah..." Owen agreed. He watched as Henry and Logan stood together talking about the diamond pickaxes they were planning to make. "Hey," Aya snapped her fingers twice next to Owen's ear. "Wiring?""Oh." Owen examined the right side of the doorframe, where Redstone wiring ran to a dispenser on top of the wall. Aya was better at this stuff than Owen. She was probably only asking to be nice. "Looks good," he said and then pointed her phone up at the dispenser. "But what is that--""Great!" Aya grabbed back her phone as Owen watched it go. "Hey Logan!"The boy turned, looking confused. "What?""That's not a lot of diamonds. That's nothing. I've been collecting a ton of diamonds," she said. "Here." Aya tapped on her phone to invite Logan and Henry to the buildplate for the fort. "I put them all in this chest," she said. "Take a look."Logan raised an eyebrow at Henry and then walked toward Aya. Henry trailed behind, looking sideways at Owen. "You don't have diamonds," Logan said to Aya. "You have to do lots of adventures, and you don't really--"Aya snickered and gestured at the chest in the center of the walled area. "Well then, how did all these diamonds get in this chest?" Logan came marching toward the double-doors and the wooden box past them. He stepped onto the block right in front of the doors which compressed slightly as he did. "That's a pressure plate--" Owen started to say.And then the dispenser overhead spat out a stream of lava right over Logan's head. It flowed over him and pooled on the ground at his feet. Aya cackled. "Hey!" Logan said. His character had 'died,' and he'd been kicked off of the buildplate and could no longer see the fort. "Hey! You--" Aya couldn't stop laughing. Even Owen sniggered. "Whatever..." Logan said, trying not to look annoyed. "I knew you didn't have diamonds anyway!"Aya was too busy laughing to bother with a comeback. The boys stomped away as Aya slowly came back to her senses. "Oh, man!" she said finally. "I love this game."
