Books with author Ethan Snyder

Squirrel and Chipmunk live in Maine, and they are best friends. When a wildfire burns down their home, they set off for Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and calamity and hilarity follow. This set of adventures, written by a 13-year old for younger children, entertains while teaching about loyalty and friendship. The playful illustrations are vivid and colorful.

In this graphic fan fiction, the author takes you along – with pictures and words – on the adventures of a Minecraft character who finds himself in an empty snow biome, with no tools or supplies. His quest is to kill the ferocious and malevolent Ender Dragon, and, before the final, exciting battle, he must craft tools, build a home, find food, and defend himself from menacing creepers, skeletons, zombie pigmen, and Endermen. The story is extensively illustrated with screenshots created by the author, and it is unique in its presentation, offering readers ideas for creating their own Minecraft adventures. The book was written by a 14-year-old Minecraft coder who studied Java and Minecraft coding at iD Tech Camp at Princeton University in 2013 and attended Minecon 2013. Ethan Snyder’s first book, Best Friends: The Adventures of Squirrel and Chipmunk in Maine, was published in 2013 and is selling well on Amazon and Kindle and in bookstores.
