Meet the next big thing in the world of official Minecraft novels:
zombies!
Looking after a little sibling can be a real headache . . . especially
when they're a zombie trying to eat your brains!
Life is good for Bobbie in the sleepy village of Plaintown. Sure,
her villager parents only ever say "Hrm," but you pick up the local
language quickly. And maybe her little brother, Johnny, is always
getting into trouble, but the village's iron golem is there to look out
for him. And, yeah, things are too busy for exploring when you're the
only one in town who ever takes their hands out of their sleeves. But
maybe that's for the best. After all, there are things out there beyond
the torchlight that are better handled by adventurers.
But one night, a stranger comes to Plaintown--and he's followed by a
horde of ravenous zombies! Bobbie's village is overrun, and her world is
turned upside down as her friends, family, and neighbors fall victim to
the zombies' endless appetite.
Life is not so good for Ben, an adventurer with nothing left to his
name but the armor on his back. When dawn's light shows him an abandoned
village, he sees it as a chance to pick through the wreckage and get
himself back on track. What he wasn't expecting to run into was a
desperate girl with a baby zombie villager on a leash.
Bobbie and Johnny are the only ones left . . . and her brother's a lot
greener and a lot bitier than he was last night. There's still some of
Johnny rattling around the little zombie monster's mind; Bobbie just
knows it. And Ben might know a way to bring him back.
As the two journey across the Overworld, dragging Johnny along
(literally), they brave dangerous depths, terrifying mobs, and an
expanding mystery. Was the zombie attack on Bobbie's village really just
bad luck? Where did the rest of the zombies go? And how exactly do you
take care of a little brother who can't stop trying to eat you?
Hold onto your brains--and your bows--and get ready to enter Minecraft:
Zombies!
