MAL<br><br>So here s what you need to know: My name is Mal, I live in a town called Cornucopia, and I would do anything for my friends. Literally. Which is why they always come to me for help.<br><br>My family runs the biggest cattle ranch, which I ve nicknamed Cornu-cow-pie-a as a joke. Most days, I wake up with the rooster and take the cows out to pasture, which isn t a very long journey, as our town is completely contained within impossibly tall walls. Still, we have to switch where the cows graze or they ll eat down to the dirt and possibly keep going. Cows aren t very smart. They are cute, though, and I like eating breakfast as they graze. Their crunching is very companionable.<br><br>Mal! a voice calls as I munch on my apple.<br><br>I look around definitely not a cow. And anyway, I know that voice.<br><br>Morning, Lenna!<br><br>My friend Lenna jogs toward me, out of breath and frantic, her poufy brown hair bouncing and full of leaves. Mal. You ve got to come help. Jarro has Tok and Chug cornered in an alley!<br><br>With Lenna, you have to stop and make sure you have all the details right.<br><br>Okay, slow down. I know Tok couldn t fight a sick beetroot, but Chug can take on Jarro any day of the week. What s the problem?<br><br>She cocks her head. Chug has a hoe.<br><br>Ah.<br><br>See, Chug and Tok are the other two people in our friend group. They re brothers, but as different as two people can be. And, yes, they re almost always in trouble for something or other. Scrapping with Jarro is one thing, but if Chug is holding a hoe and Jarro goads him enough, especially in a hidden alley downtown, we might have a real problem. Plus, if Chug breaks the hoe over Jarro s head, he ll be in even worsetrouble.<br><br>It s not like hoes grow on trees.<br><br>You can buy them only from Old Stu, and they re pretty expensive.<br><br>And Tok . . . kinda goes through a lot of tools. He s always trying to create interesting gadgets to help around their family s pumpkin farm not that any of them seem to work. He s very smart and creative, but he gets so excited that he forgets about rules and safety.<br><br>Chug, on the other hand, is all fists and not a lot of calculations. We need to hurry not to protect the boys from Jarro, but to protect Chug from Chug. He s my best friend, but I m the first to admit that he doesn t know when to shut his mouth. He s the king of comebacks and is always ready to stand up against any bully. If he hurts Jarro, things will go badly for all of us.<br><br>Seriously, Mal. Chug was turning red. We ve got to hurry!<br><br>Lenna turns around to run, looking back to make sure I m with her. She s known for hyperbole and telling tall tales, so I m pretty sure Chug isn t about to start bopping people on the head with a hoe. Still, I m the one who has to make sure everyone is okay, so I sigh and toss my unfinished apple toward the nearest cow before standing to run after Lenna.<br><br>I end up outpacing her as we charge into the Hub, which is what we call the center of town. She leads me to a back alley in the warren of old shops and houses, and sure enough, there they are. Tok is up high, out of reach, perched on part of an ancient staircase that leads toward a second floor door nobody uses anymore. His cat, Candor, is by his side, her fur puffed up as she hisses at the scene below. No one knows if Candor is male or female, but Tok decided that she is a she and she hasn t complained, and I respect that. She spends most of her time on his shoulder. I can t really picture Tok without an orange ball of fluff acting as his second head.<br><br>The scene below, though? That s the real problem. I m glaCome with the Mob Squad on an amazing adventure through the Overworld in this official Minecraft novel!<br><br>The village of Cornucopia is practically perfect in every way. Plenty of food, cozy homes, and a huge wall to keep everyone safe from the scary world outside. What more could a kid possibly need?<br><br>Well, a lot, actually.<br><br>Mal, a fearless girl, needs adventure, and her friends are right there with her: Lenna, a dreamer whose family underestimates her every day. Tok and Chug, brothers who love to build stuff (Tok) and smash stuff (Chug). They re best friends, and in a town whose grown-ups value safety over bravery and fitting in over standing out, they re the bad apples.<br><br>But when a mysterious mob sneaks past Cornucopia s defenses, the village is in huge trouble. And nobody knows what to do. Finally faced with the adventure she s always wanted, Mal and her friends defy the rules their elders have always followed and set out beyond the wall for the first time.<br><br>On their journey across the Overworld, they discover wonders they ve never dreamed of and dangers they ve never imagined. To save the day, they ll have to prove they re more than bad apples. They re the Mob Squad!1USDelilah S.
