ELDER STU<br><br>So here s what you need to know: My name is Stu, I m the Eldest Elder and the second oldest person in the town of Cornucopia, and YOU NEED TO STAY INSIDE THE TOWN WALL.<br><br>D you hear me, kid? DON T EVER GO OUT INTO THE OVERWORLD.<br><br>The town Founders built Cornucopia for a reason. It s scary out there. Real dangerous. There are terrifying monsters and bloodthirsty animals and strangers who do not have your best interests at heart.<br><br>Sure, there might be good scenery and interesting people and untold riches beyond the wall. Forests and seas and emeralds and axolotls, whatever they are. And yes, some people might tell you that the fine folks of Cornucopia are all descended from grand adventurers and that we all hold the potential for bravery, valor, discovery, and creativity, blah blah blah.<br><br>Poppycock, if you ask me.<br><br>Utter nonsense.<br><br>Stay within the wall, child. We have everything you need.<br><br>Don t go out there.<br><br>You never know what you ll find.<br><br>It might be your own doom.<br><br>Now get out of my shop. Out you go. Children are noisy and annoying. That s why I never had any of my own. I like my life like I like my town: quiet, calm, and boring.<br><br>Before you leave, would you like to buy a hoe? Potato farming that s the way to go. Just rows of potatoes as far as the eye can see. Potatoes for dinner every night. A nice, solid potato never did anyone any harm.<br><br>You don t need a sword or armor. You don t need one of those newfangled horses.<br><br>You just need to settle down inside the wall with your potatoes and wait for old age to claim you.<br><br>Mark my words the Overworld is the last place you want to be.<br><br>The wall is your friend.<br><br><br><br>LENNA<br><br>So here s what you should know: My name is Lenna, I m the apprentice of the oldest and weirdest person in town, and you shouldn t listen to a single thing Elder Stu says. He doesn t know what he s talking about. He s never once been outside the wall around Cornucopia, even though there s currently a great big opening in it so that our people can come and go freely.<br><br>Or well, kind of freely.<br><br>They still don t like it when me and my friends go out into the Overworld.<br><br>Even though we were the first people in our town to venture beyond the wall in four generations, and even though we ve saved the town twice! Stu and the other Elders still think we re up to no good.<br><br>Of course, we re used to people in the town treating us differently. They used to call us the Bad Apples, and some people still do. We re not as normal as they d like us to be.<br><br>Like I said, I m apprenticed to the oldest, weirdest person in town, my friend Mal s great-great-great-grandmother Nan. She keeps the lore, and we re creating a library for everyone to use, so they can learn about our history and the world beyond the wall the biomes and flora and fauna that we don t have around here. Nan also taught me how to shoot my bow and arrows, how to craft a few things, and how to bake her famous cookies. Maybe more important, she taught me that there s nothing wrong with being different. My family made fun of me all the time for getting lost in daydreams and being, as they said, a bit loony, but Nan tells me it s a gift. I m starting to believe her.<br><br>My pockets are stuffed with cookies as I head through downtown and past the Hub, which is the very center of Cornucopia. Most of the Elders and more traditional families live here, where the old houses are tall and skinny and jumbled together, but my friends and I have all chosen to settle down a bit farther out. I live in a little cottage by Nan s house in the forest farthest from the middle of town, right up agaiThe Mob Squad must outwit a mysterious new enemy as they journey across the Overworld of Minecraft in this official novel!<br><br>The Mob Squad are the greatest heroes the town of Cornucopia has produced since it was founded: Mal the bold, Lenna the strong, Tok the wise, and Chug the steadfast. And Jarro, who s renounced his bullying ways to reveal a truly kind heart. Together they ve journeyed across the Overworld, delved into the Nether, and saved the day for Cornucopia again and again.<br><br>So why can t they get any respect from the adults who run the town? The only one who understands is Nan, Mal s great-great-great-grandmother, who trained them to be as resourceful and adventurous as she was in her day.<br><br>So when Nan gets sick and isn t getting any better, the kids refuse to just sit by and do nothing. There s something out there that can help her an enchanted golden apple that can cure just about anything. And the Mob Squad will stop at nothing to get it.<br><br>But as they venture outside the walls of Cornucopia, they aren t counting on being followed. The kids soon discover a mysterious foe whose motives are as unknown as the face they hide behind a creeper s head. If the Mob Squad wants to rescue Nan, they re going to have to save themselves first.USDelilah S.
