Minecraft: The Scavenger Hunt

In this official Minecraft novel, a gaming champion must bring his school together through a massive Minecraft scavenger hunt, but when someone sabotages the server, he’ll have to solve the mystery before it’s game over—for good.

Drake Evans is riding high after his victory at the Southwest Regional Minecraft Tournament. He’s normally content to keep to himself, but now everyone at school seems to know his name!

Unluckily for Drake, that includes Ms. Gwen. She’s convinced that Drake is just the guy to help with the school’s plan to use gaming to “make learning fun”—starting with a Minecraft scavenger hunt. It sounds cool and all, but can they really take a bunch of newbies and teach them to play?

Just when Drake thinks he’s getting somewhere, things go sideways on the school server. Explosions where there shouldn’t be. Gaps in builds. Clearly someone is messing up—but is it on purpose? The more things pile up in the game, the more overwhelmed Drake becomes in his new role as leader. To top it all off, something is up with his best friend, Carlos, and his maybe-but-also-definitely crush, Ava, can’t stand being forced to take part in the hunt.

He may have come out on top once before, but this is a whole new level of challenge for Drake. Can he get it together before things go completely off the rails?
