“Hey, Maison,” I said, a little uncomfortable. “Do you think it might be okay for me to come visit you in your world again?” After all the havoc I’d brought last time, I didn’t know if she’d want me to come back. Ms. Reid might have wanted me back, but Ms. Reid didn’t know I’d accidentally brought mobs with me and caused all those problems. Maybe Maison only wanted to come visit me and she didn’t want me to go back with her.
But she smiled over her shoulder at me. “Of course!” she said. “I still have to teach you how to play baseball. A baseball bat really shouldn’t be used as a weapon—it’s just that desperate times call for desperate measures, and I’d say a mob attack is pretty desperate.”
That about made me sigh with relief. “I think we need a few more blocks over here,” I said. “What do you think?”
“I think you’re right,” she said, coming over to my side. “And I think this tree house is going to be perfect.”

The Quest for the Diamond Sword
An Unofficial Gamer’s Adventure, Book One
by Winter Morgan
Steve lives on a wheat farm and likes to spend his mornings in the village and trade his wheat for emeralds, armor, books, swords, and food. One morning, he finds that zombies have attacked the villagers. The zombies have also turned the village blacksmith into a zombie, leaving Steve without a place to get swords. To protect himself and the few villagers that remain, Steve goes on a quest to mine for forty diamonds, which are the most powerful mineral in the Overworld. He wants to craft these diamonds into a diamond sword to shield him and the villagers from the zombies.
Far from his home, with night about to set in, Steve fears for his life. Nighttime is when users are most vulnerable in Minecraft. As he looks for shelter in a temple, he meets a trio of treasure hunters, Max, Lucy, and Henry, who are trying to unearth the treasure under the temple. Steve tells them of his master plan to mine for the most powerful mineral in the Overworld—the diamond. The treasure hunters are eager to join him. Facing treacherous mining conditions, a thunderstorm, and attacks from hostile mobs, these four friends question if it’s better to be a single player than a multiplayer as they try to watch out for each other and chase Steve’s dream at the same time.
Will Steve find the diamonds? Will his friends help or hinder the search? Should he trust his new treasure hunter friends? And will Steve get back in time to save the villagers?
