The Rising of the Redstone Sun

GENRE: Children's Adventure (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen) Things aren't going great for cowardly adventurer Scuttlebutt Brightly. After uncovering (and exploding) a dastardly conspiracy by a pair of mysterious 'modders', he's now stuck in the middle of nowhere at the world's most remote milkshake bar. And still without a drop of treasure to show for it. After a chance run-in with a muddle-mouthed old enemy, Scuttlebutt and his companions hear rumours that the frozen kingdom of Wintertide has a new mayor, intent on exterminating creepers and generally being an overbearing rotter. But conveniently, Scuttlebutt's friend Ernest just happens to be the lost prince of Wintertide. And, with a little bit of persuasion, might just be able to put a stop to this mischief. Joined by Soot the talking creeper, Florabel the fearless barmaid, and Mildred the duck (or is she a chicken?) the motley band of adventurers travel north to take on this devious new mayor. They'll face snivelling minions, nefarious inventions, uncooperative pigs, the perilous Walk of Fiery Doom and strange-named teenagers with bad haircuts. All to put a new king on the throne of Wintertide, and put an end to the modders' despicable plans. Author's Note: This short story is for your reading pleasure.
