Weird Alex — Mark Mulle

GENRE: Children's Adventure (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen) Book 1: Lousy Jasper In the world of Minecraft, being a mob means one thing: doing what everyone else in your mob does. This proves a little harder for Jasper. A kid zombie who can't get a grip of fighting without using his head, he's mocked by fellow zombies and called a misfit. Tired of not belonging, Jasper decides to leave home and be good at something else. His idea in particular? Acting like another kind of monster, Jasper will try to climb with the Spiders, sneak with the Creepers and do everything in his power in order to find a place where he belongs. Is such a feat possible for a naive Zombie such as himself, though? And what will the other monsters think about his unconventional ways? Meet interesting characters in the form of your favorite Minecraft characters, and listen as Jasper tells you his story through a series of daily entries. Book 2: Weird Alex After a harrowing journey alone, Jasper is welcomed into Herobrine's home in order to become one of his acolytes because he seeks to be different from others. He meets monsters who can do more than what they've told to do, is able to learn things like crafting and fighting, and is finally starting to feel anything but lousy. Things would be working out smoothly if it weren't for one tiny problem: Jasper meets a kid human in the woods - and she wants to be friends with him. Jasper finds himself in a huge dilemma when a monster's worst enemy wants to be anything but that. It doesn't help that she brought along three adults with here and they don't seem to have the same intentions she does. Who is this strange girl? Why isn't she scared of him? And what does the presence of humans on Herobrine's land mean? And most importantly, how will all of this affect his stay in Herobrine's home. Book 3: Mysterious Steve After finally befriending the human girl, Herobrine dubs Jasper and Alex, official 'acolytes-in-training', and assigns them to their first task: deliver a message to a person in the Nether realm. A fiery underworld full of lava, rocks and monsters who would be willing to attack Alex on- sight, Jasper has a hard time believing this is a 'beginner's task'. It doesn't help in the least that this will mark Jasper's first time in the Nether realm ever. However all these risks are nothing compared to what they discover: a dangerous human named 'Steve' has been going around the Nether and causing trouble. Alex seems to know about this, but doesn't seem keen on telling Jasper about it. Confused as to who this 'Steve' person is, Jasper has to find a way to learn the truth. Why is Steve deemed to be a dangerous person? Why is Alex being quiet about him? And who exactly is Steve? Author's Note: This short story is for your reading pleasure.
