Minecraft : journey to the ancient city / Danny Lore.
cover image"Opal has almost done it all--fought monsters, protected people from pillagers, and even defeated the legendary Ender Dragon! But that's all in the past. Now, Opal has hung up her adventuring hat and is living the life of a happy crafter, far more likely to build a bed than to fight a Wither. In fact, Opal has decided that her time is best spent building her dream manor outside the very village that displays the Ender Dragon skull she brought back from the End! Meanwhile, Opal's sister, Lisa, is at the beginning of her own journey. She's ready to be a hero. Just ask her. Or don't. She'll tell you anyway. She knows every single story ever told about her sister and probably about a few other heroes as well. She admires Opal immensely--always has. But now it's her turn for an adventure. And that adventure might be bigger than she could ever have imagined. One day, a traveling adventurer named Braun arrives in town, claiming he knows how to defeat the Warden--a fearsome mob that not even Opal has bested. Lisa jumps at the chance to join Braun on his epic quest, and Opal reluctantly agrees to accompany the duo--only to protect her sister, of course. But along the way, Opal might just rediscover her love of adventure, and realize that it's even more fun when someone else is there to share in the story...."--. Provided by publisher.

cover image"This poignant and moving graphic novel in verse captures the dangers and hope that come with fleeing North Korea and reaching for a brighter future through the lives of Yunho and Myunghee. From never knowing where they'll find their next meal to avoiding soldiers lurking at every corner, many North Koreans have learned that sticking around can be just as deadly as attempting to flee . . . almost. Both shy, resourceful Yunho and fierce, vibrant Myunghee know this. So when they each resolve to run away from the bleak futures they face, it's with the knowledge that they could be facing a fate worse than death. While Yunho hopes to reunite with his omma, who snuck across the border years ago, Myunghee is reaching for dreams that are bigger than anything the regime would allow her to have. The two are strangers to each other until a chance encounter unwittingly intertwines their fates and Myunghee saves Yunho's life. Kept together by their dreams for a brighter future, they face a road plagued by poisonous jungle snakes, corrupt soldiers, and the daily fear of discovery and imprisonment. But with every step toward freedom, there is also hope. Will it be enough for both of them to make it to safety without losing each other along the way?"--Amazon.com.
