GENRE: Children's Adventure (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen) Book 1: Steve and Alex Search for the Stronghold The Village is still under attack by Zombie Pigmen! It's up to Steve and Alex to stop them, but how? Steve has a crazy idea that just might work, but he needs obsidian, first. That stuff is hard to find, though, so he comes up with an even crazier idea-to look for Herobrine. It's the last thing he ever thought he'd do, but he needs lava in order to make obsidian and Herobrine just may be the one to help him. Once Steve has enough obsidian to build a protective wall around the Village, he and Alex go searching for the Stronghold. It's an adventure that leads them far, far away where they find more interesting things to explore. At the Stronghold, Steve and Alex see their crazy plan through, but it only makes Steve curious about the End. He knows he can't go there just yet. Can Steve and Alex save the Village? Will Steve's plan work? Their adventures can only make them better players in this Blocky Universe. Book 2: Steve and Alex Take on Ocean Monument Steve and Alex go on a long adventure to explore the Ocean Monument, but something strange is happening. Endermen, hundreds of them, are all heading towards the ocean. Endermen hate water! It's up to Steve and Alex to find out what's going on. There's Endermen in the Nether, too, Steve discovers, and hardly any Zombie Pigmen to be found anywhere. Is this a good thing, or just another clue to figuring out this crazy Blocky Universe? When Steve and Alex follow the Endermen back to the Stronghold, Steve starts to see how everything is connected-the Stronghold, the Ocean Monument, the Nether-and they learn about Pigmen, an ancient Blocky World race that no longer exists. It's always interesting when Steve and Alex try to figure stuff out. Figuring out this Blocky Universe may prove to be their biggest challenge yet. Book 3: Steve and Alex Unleash the Wither Steve has decided he's ready to go to the End, but doesn't want to take the risk of going there while the Endermen and the Zombie Pigmen are fighting a war. While he waits, he decides he needs a challenge, something to sharpen his skills. His idea materializes when Alex shows him an ancient recipe book for mobs that they brought back from the Stronghold. Alex is fascinated with this old book, but can't decipher the symbols. After several days of studying it, she concludes that the book was written by ancient Pigmen who became extinct because they unleashed mobs that they lost control over. Are they about to do the very same thing? Steve is determined to the point of cockiness to defeat this unidentified mob, even though he doesn't know what kind of mob it is or what it does. His end goal is to get to the End, and in his mind, this is the quickest way there. Has his desire to reach the End caused him to make a terrible mistake?
