A Minecraft Movie
David Lewman
Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival!
Four misfits – Garrett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison, Henry, Natalie and Dawn – find themselves when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination.
To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve.
Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative – the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world!

One Last Quest
Brandon Hoang
The kingdom has been breached. Beware The Griefer!
With middle school starting, Lam Dang is officially ready for a change. He loves to play Minecraft, embarking on epic builds with his crew – Jazz, Elias, and Britt – in their beloved shared world, the Kingdom of the Killer Bunnies. But Lam also wants to try new things and meet new people.
So maybe going into sixth grade with a little distance from his old friends wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Lam’s plans change, though, when mysterious letters show up in the gang’s lockers. Someone calling themselves The Griefer is threatening to destroy everything the Killer Bunnies worked so hard to build in the Overworld, from their magnificent castle to the surrounding village.
If they don’t play The Griefer’s twisted game, everything will be lost. Lam may be ready for something new, but he’s not prepared to give up the old just yet.
