Dragons Never Die

Redstone Junior High #3

by Cara J. Stevens

For boys and girls who love Minecraft, a graphic novel adventure that uses over 750 images to transport young readers into the world of the game they love most.

When Uma shows up at Pixel’s house over summer break, it’s not just for a friendly visit. It’s to bring chilling news of the Ender Dragon’s death. Never before has their world suffered such a great loss. Uma now holds the one item that the Ender Dragon left behind and both girls must protect it with their lives.

The girls return to Redstone Junior High with a sense of purpose and a secret much bigger than them both. But what used to be a safe haven for students has been ravaged by the Ender Dragon’s destroyer, Smite, and his evil cohorts. Not only has the school been ransacked, but it’s overrun with mobs seeking protection from a wave of attacks on their homes. Pixel, Sky, Uma, Principal Redstone, and the other students must teach these mobs to fight back before Redstone Junior High becomes a battlefield and the Ender Dragon’s legacy is lost forever.

Will the Ender Dragon finally be avenged or will Smite and his crew wipe out the last hope for a return to peace and normalcy?

About the author

I have wanted to be a writer since I was four years old and fell in love with reading. I wrote stories and songs and poems. I wrote plays and scribbled thoughts and ideas in notebooks. I wrote when I was supposed to be doing sports, and sometimes I wrote under the covers by flashlight when I was supposed to be asleep in bed.

I got my first big break writing stories for Sesame Street video games. Then I helped design and create video games based on books, like Bruce Coville's My Teacher is an Alien and Roxie Munro's Inside Outside World. I got my big break when Byron Preiss commissioned me to write my first novel, Dragon School. I felt like the luckiest person in the world because I got to live my dream!
​
That was 20 years ago! Since then, I've written many more books. I write about Paw Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants, Mickey Mouse and Bubble Guppies for little kids. I write about Fortnite, Minecraft and Terraria video games for bigger kids. I also get to write about cool trends like Fidget Spinners, the K-Pop band BTS, how to record your family history, and a guide to playing Pokemon Go!

None of what I do would be possible without encouragement from my family and friends, the love and support of my amazing husband, guidance from all the fantastic editors, publishers and illustrators I work with, and of course letters and notes from readers like you!

Reviews

[Jessica]

This continues to be a series my 7-year-old enjoys (despite their occasional interjections about the inaccuracies of certain plot points related to what's actually possible in Minecraft). From my perspective it's not particularly engaging or original, but it's also coherent and entertaining enough that I didn't mind reading it with them every night. We plan to continue the series.
