  • The Spider Diaries Trilogy

    Mark Mulle

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 4, 2016)
    GENRE: Children’s Adventure (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen) Book 1: The Eight-legged Monster You could say that is hardly possible for a Spider to be lonely or bored – all those legs and eyes – there must be something interesting you could do with it! Well, my story is different and I just might happen to be the loneliest Spider ever to be spawned in the world of blocks. That is why I’ve started writing a diary, yes! It gives me a feeling that I am not that alone and maybe someone will even read it someday! Until then I am using it as to-do-list and to write about occasional interesting mobs I stumble upon. Oh, yes! I also decided to leave the place where I was spawned and take a little adventure – I am not afraid, of course! I am an eight-legged monster. That is exactly how I ended up in the West Village, looking for Spiders’ Eyes (Yuck! Gross!), so I could bring those to the Elders. Who are the Elders? Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you it, but you can read about it in my diary. I will let you take a peak! Book 2: Spiders’ Eyes You know how sometimes things can get complicated? Awfully complicated? Well, even if you don’t, you can read all about those unfortunate complications in my diary. I don’t even know how I still have time to keep up with writing new logs as my life became an infinite chase. I have a companion, though – and although he is slow (very slow, but fast enough for a Zombie) and has only one hand, he has been of hand to me! Hah! Did you see what I did there? “Of hand…”. Never mind. If you understand Spider humor, you can understand any humor. I have to go now as I am competing with days to get to the Elders in time – if I don’t make it, I am not sure what the consequences will be… Book 3: The Elders I am about to meet the Elders. Facing the…ummm, it sort of sounds dramatic, but believe me when I told you that this situation deserves a pinch of freshly sliced drama. The feelings are mixed: fear, rage, curiosity – I am glad, though, that Fig gave up on saving me, took my advice and left: I don’t need my best friend trapped for block knows what reason. I wonder why the Elders want to see me…it probably has something to do with Fig’s little visit and the other Spiders being noisy about it. This really has to end! All I wanted was a friend and all I was given was a simple (but gross) task in exchange for never being alone again. Who else wants to be forever alone? Not me…no. Wait, I am not alone…I wasn’t alone – I’ve had Fig the entire time! Oh, there we are…the Elders are waiting for me – and I am about to see their faces for the first time ever. Something tells me trouble is about to begin.
