Description
The excerpt is from a book about a school for Minecraft players that is called Herobrine Middle School. Dan has been selected to attend the school and is excited about it at first, but soon realizes that it is probably a hoax. His friends have also been selected to attend the school, but they are not happy about it. The griefers, who are older kids who have found the school server, are constantly destroying things. Dan decides to take more drastic measures to protect his friends and the school, and ends up building a series of secret entrances to the school plateau.
Dan is playing Minecraft with his friends, like he always does, when a strange figure, white from head-to-toe, approaches him in the game and drops a book at his feet. Cautiously, Dan reads the book: its an invitation, to a school. A school for only the very best Minecraft players in the country. It has to be a trick. Its probably just a joke from one of his friends. Dan is thinking just that, when theres a knock at the door. A strange woman, dressed in all white, has arrived at Dans front door. She introduces herself to his bewildered mom and dad with her angelic voice. Her name is Ms. Fennerby and shes a teacher at Herobrine Middle School, an academy for children gifted in the game of Minecraft. Dan has been selected as one of the builders and designers of his generation. It all seems to good to be true. And maybe it is

It is Spy Kids and Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, all set to the backdrop of the mysterious world of Minecraft. Perfect for readers age eight to fourteen with a story that will excite all lovers of Minecraft. Excerpt DAAANNNNN! Its dinner time! the voice echoed up the stairs. Ill be right down! Dan yelled back. Ive just got to save the world! Dans mom, who was making a racket in the kitchen that made Dan think she was throwing every pot on the ground, didnt respond. That was okay. Dan didnt want to have to explain anyways. He was saving the world. Well a world. The Minecraft world that he and a couple friends had been working on for over a year. They had magnificent houses and had built huge statues of their avatars in the game. Dans pride and joy was built on the server too: The Cow Cannon 2000. The Cow Cannon 2000 did well it did exactly what you would expect it to. It fired cows at blinding speed into the far away expanses of Minecraft. It fired them so far that Dan and his friends had never found any remains of the cows or the mine carts that they were fired in. The best part is that the machine worked automatically. It lured cows to the machine and then fired them off as soon as they got close enough. Dan was incredibly proud of it. A work of art, he told himself. And, really, everything had been perfect in that huge-housed, massive-statued, cow-raining world, until the griefers had shown up. Somehow, a bunch of older kids had found the server and at first it was fine. They built their own stuff. That was fine. But soon they were bored of that and started destroying anything and everything they could find. Dan had urged his friends to just not react. The griefers would get bored, he thought, and leave them alone. But they didnt get bored. So, it was time to take more drastic measures. The griefers next target was Platinum Plateau where Dans friends houses were built, along with the Cow Cannon 2000. Dan wasnt going to let the griefers anywhere near it. He had spent the last week building a series of secret entrances to the plateau via mine cart. The idea was that the griefers would find the secret entrances and not be able to resist riding the mine carts into the centre of the plateau to surprise Dan and friends. But little did they know that the mine cart would take them right to the Cow Cannon 2000, and before they knew it, BAM! Theyd be taking a free flight, courtesy of Dan airlines.
