Minecraft: Out of Order Volume 1

Ages 8 to 12, Grades 3 to 7

After a weird cult rampaged through their town stealing supplies, and trampling their home, Riley and their friends set out on a mission to pull off a heist that will balance the score. Jump back into Minecraft’s overworld with this action packed graphic novel!

Riley is an unassuming farmer living a comfortable life in a small hillside hamlet, with little desire for adventure. This all changes when the militant Province of Perfect Sameness storms into town and flattens their home, led by the identical twins, Paula and Prentice. The twin’s campaign to impose their vision of “perfect sameness” on the Overworld forces Riley and friends into action, sending them all on the adventure of a lifetime!

Riley employs the aid of friend Charlie, a brilliant builder with a tendency to ignore health and safety rules and overuse TNT which has earned him the reputation as town troublemaker — and Emily, a loner and former warrior for the Province of Perfect Sameness who is torn by guilt over her service with the Province. Together, they must venture to the Province’s fortress, cross swords with the twin’s legion of soldiers, and pull off their biggest (and only) heist ever to steal back all the materials taken from their Hamlet!
