Chapter 1

NEW PETS ON THE BLOCK MINECRAFT STONESHORD SHOR

PROLOGUE The swamp was dark and full of menace. But that wouldn't stop Jodi. It would take more than murky water, dark vines, and mucky clay to turn her away from her mission. It was a rescue mission. How could she turn her back on those who needed her? Her blocky hands reached for the first cage. The gate swung open, and the prisoner stepped out into the open air. "Get out of here," Jodi said. "Hurry!"

Jodi had to hurry, too. There were dozens of cages here. Each one held a different prisoner. Jodi had to free them before their captor realized what she was doing. Unless Morgan stopped her first. "JODI, STOP!" he cried. "We need to talk about this." But as far as Jodi was concerned, there was nothing to talk about. She opened another cage, and another. That was as far as she got…before they were attacked. Their unseen enemy struck from the shadows, quick and merciless. Po was the first to fall. Theo and Harper were next. When Morgan was defeated, Jodi was all alone against their attacker. She knew she had to be brave. She knew everyone was counting on her. She wouldn't back down! But in the end, it didn't matter. This was a fight she couldn't win. And as Jodi fell to her knees, cursed by some foul magic…their enemy laughed. Jodi wondered if it would be the last sound she ever heard.

Chapter 1 PLEASE HOLD YOUR QUESTIONS UNTIL THE END OF THE PRESENTATION! (BUT YOU CAN OOH AND AHH AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE.) Jodi Mercado knew how important it was to dress for battle. When fighting a boss mob, diamond armor was hard to beat. When dodging fireballs, a shield was quite useful.

When confronting an Enderman, a pumpkin helmet was a smart accessory. But when it came to a war of words in the real world…Jodi chose to wear her very best dress. "As you can see, animals are adorable," she said. She aimed a red laser pointer at the screen behind her, drawing everyone's attention to the image of a cute, floppy-eared puppy. She clicked a button on the pointer—click!—and the image changed from the puppy to a kitten with a tiny pink nose. "I would like to hug every animal," she said. "Except for spiders." Click! Click! Click! The image changed from kitten to hedgehog to gerbil to gecko.
