A Zombie Summer School Diary (Book 1): My History Teacher Is A Skeleton (An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 (Preteen)


Mark Mulle - 2016
    The silliest thing just happened to me! Just because I never did any of my homework and hardly showed up to some classes I’ve been forced into summer school if I want to be able to pass the fifth grade and get into middle school next year. It’s not as bad as it seems though, my best friend Grunt is in summer school too, so at least I’ll have someone to talk to. My entire summer is going to be filled with summer classes because I failed three classes last year. I bet I’ll be bored out of my mind, but it’s not like zombies have anything better to do in the summer, avoiding the sun and all. Anyway, I heard that my first month-long session is in history and it’s being taught by a skeleton! I wonder what sort of crazy stuff I’ll learn...or what kind of crazy dreams I’ll have when I end up sleeping through class. I guess I’ll just need to wait to find out. Author’s Note: This short story is for your reading pleasure. The characters in this "Minecraft Adventure Series" such as Steve, Endermen or Herobrine...etc are based on the Minecraft Game coming from Minecraft ®/TM & © 2009-2013 Mojang / Notch
