Dragons Never Die

Redstone Junior High #3

By: Cara J. Stevens

The third book in the newest full-color series of unofficial graphic novels for Minecrafters. 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?

The Front Steps Project

How Communities Found Connection During the COVID-19 Crisis

By: Kristen Collins,Cara Soulia

People magazine's top reason for Hope in America. Curated from a grassroots social movement, The Front Steps Project is an inspiring, uplifting portrait series capturing how people coped with living in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Front Steps Project™ demonstrates that even in the most challenging of circumstances, kindness, love, courage, and hope exist to build, bind, and connect communities around the globe. Created on March 18, 2020, The Front Steps Project™ began when friends Kristen Collins and Cara Soulia sought out to unite their neighbors through photographs of life in quarantine. In addition to incorporating work from other local photographers, the women traveled to neighborhoods around Needham, Massachusetts to photograph residents in front of their homes in exchange for donations to their local food pantry. Within days, #TheFrontStepsProject became a grassroots social mission, connecting thousands of people across the globe and raising over $3,250,000 for vital non-profit organizations and local businesses including food pantries, frontline workers, homeless and animal shelters, hospitals and so much more. Through their noble efforts, hundreds of thousands of images and stories of love, sacrifice, compassion, kindness, perseverance, and – ultimately hope – flooded social media. Featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, People Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe and more, The Front Steps Project brings communities together virtually, despite being – and maybe feeling – isolated. The Front Steps Project contains over 400 photographs and dozens of stories of families during the COVID-19 pandemic. This heartwarming keepsake commemorates a massive effort of courage, unity, and goodwill. As a tribute to the good work of The Front Steps Project, a portion of book sales will be donated to The United Way to help people impacted by the pandemic.

When Endermen Attack

Redstone Junior High #4

By: Cara J. Stevens

Winter has come to Redstone Junior High once again, and with it comes holiday celebrations, snowball combat practice, and loads of outdoor fun. But even though the threat of Smite and his henchmen has passed, a new, sinister force lurks in the dark hallways of the school. Strange blocks begin to appear in random places throughout the school, and students have been hearing eerie sounds coming from its abandoned corridors. Pixel, Sky, and Umal team up to figure out what’s tormenting their school and why. To make matters worse, Tina and her followers are determined to work against Pixel. What follows is a griefing war that spares no one—not even the teachers or Principal Redstone. As the kids discover more about the lanky creatures who are terrorizing their school, it becomes painfully clear that they must put aside their differences to unite against a common enemy. Will a mob invasion actually bring the students together, or will Redstone Junior High remain haunted forever?

Before they can graduate, they must face their greatest challenge! It’s the last semester at Redstone Junior High and Pixel, Sky, and Uma are about to enter into their most exciting adventure yet. The students must complete a bold and dangerous challenge by graduation: travel to the End and ride the notorious Ender dragon. Their first step is to gather the valuable items needed to complete this quest, but a treacherous storm is brewing and nothing is going according to plan. What begins as a simple trade with a villager leads to an accidental explosion, and the students and Mr. Z are cast out of a remote village into the raging storm. The kids survive the night in a cave only to discover that their beloved teacher Mr. Z, has gone missing. Pixel, Sky, and Uma will use every trick in the book to find him, but they risk revealing his deep secret in the process. It will take precious resources, courage, and teamwork to complete their quest in time for graduation, but not everyone is working well together. An old nemesis has joined the class, so Pixel and Uma are watching their backs every step of the way. Tensions are high between even the best of friends as old enemies become friends and old friends become rivals. A journey to the Nether fortress tests their bonds as together they battle blazes, magma cubes, ghasts, and zombie pigmen to get the blaze rods they need. Sky finds himself in need of rescue with no plan for escape. Can Pixel and her friends find Sky, secure the blaze rods, and make it back home in time to build a portal, or will they fail their final project and be trapped in the Nether forever? The students must find a way to band together to make their final days at Redstone Junior High memorable and triumphant.

Curse of the Sand Witches

Redstone Junior High #5

By: Cara J. Stevens

When word gets out that Redstone Junior High is a hot spot for hostile mobs, enrollment goes up and chaos is the new normal. To get away from all the stress, Pixel, Sky, Uma, and Violet find themselves sneaking off through a secret mine tunnel to a beach-filled paradise they discovered. Little do they know that they are trespassing on the territory of two very angry witches: Grindel and Agatha. The witches watch them from the shadows and vow to reclaim their beach by any means necessary. What starts out as mischievous tricks and upside-down spells escalates to a vengeful plan to take over the entire school. Survival skills have become the new academic focus at the school. As the kids learn to farm, build invisible shelters, and battle horrible beasts, bizarre things begin happening all around them and they must use their newfound skills to survive. Armed only with an unreliable book of enchantment and what they’ve learned so far at Redstone Junior High, they must work together to escape killer cave spiders, a skeleton ambush, and a fierce army of golems. Will they figure out why the beach feels haunted, uncover the secret of the sand witches, and discover why the principal is acting so crazy, or will Grindel and Agatha take over the school and enslave the students forever?
