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
Owen has been counting down the days until Minecraft Earth, the game of his dreams, is released. Now, it's here and it's better than he could ever have imagined. A mysterious figure, going by the name marchHARE, has hacked the game so that the whole city is one massive adventure.Everywhere you turn, the world of Minecraft is there. 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 is filled with white-knuckle moments, elaborate mysteries to solve, real relationships and laugh-out-loud lines. 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."

Good Bones
Author: Maggie Smith
Publisher: Tupelo Press
ISBN: 1946482420
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die
Author: Sarah J. Robinson
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0593193539
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
