Scuttlebutt Brightly And The Creeper's Fuse Trilogy (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen)

GENRE: Children’s Adventure (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen)Book 1: The Adventurer from BilgewaterScuttlebutt Brightly has always fancied himself a hero. A dashing, swashbuckling treasure-hunter who spends his time looking danger in the face and laughing. Only problem is, Scuttlebutt is a teensy bit of a coward. So he spends his days using his over-developed story-teller’s tongue to pretend to be an adventurer. Which, frankly, hasn’t work very well so far.But his fortunes change when he meets Soot, a talking (and surprisingly polite) creeper on a mission to end the bitterness between his explosive kind and humans. Soot wants to find the sorceress who gave him the ability to speak, and needs a guide to take him to her distant island home. Despite the many dangers, Scuttlebutt volunteers…once he learns of the fabulous treasure on the island, of course.Joined by a tough-as-nails barmaid, an exiled prince, a muddle-mouthed professor and a duck (or is it a chicken), Scuttlebutt and Soot embark on a daring adventure into the perilous wild. They’ll face odd-speaking assassins, cat-wielding pirates, dastardly traitors and pigs that can’t walk straight. All on their journey to Creeper’s Fuse, and the terrible secret that it holds. Book 2: The Rising of the Redstone SunThings 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. Book 3: The Admin KeyScuttlebutt Brightly has a lot on his mind. His best friend, Soot the talking creeper, has been kidnapped by a pair of dastardly modders, who intend to exterminate all the creepers in Minecraftia. The modders have a giant power-laser. His only hope of stopping them is to find a wanderer named Jumbleweed, who never stays in one place very long. But worst of all, Scuttlebutt still hasn’t found a single piece of treasure.In his search for this mysterious Jumbleweed, Scuttlebutt hears rumours that all the creepers in Minecraftia are gathering at the distant Mount Spire, at the call of a legendary lightning creeper. And, naturally, he hears the modders have plans to interfere. Joined by Florabel the brave barmaid, tongue-twisted Professor Fairweather, and Fairweather’s long-lost sweetheart, the Scottish explosives expert Professor McMackenmack (Or just Mac for short), Scuttlebutt embarks on his most daring adventure yet. In a rather ridiculous disguise, the heroes sneak aboard the modders’ gigantic flying airship, The Millennium Enterprise, and travel over the perilous Sidewinder Rainforest towards Mount Spire.
