About this ebook
Seth urges Will to stay at home where he’ll be safe, or at least take some time to prepare for the journey, but Will knows he has the courage and strength to face whatever strange biomes or hostile mobs the Overworld has in store for him.
Will’s quest gets off to a great start when he meets Mina, a fellow adventurer, and they decide to look for excitement together. But when the two get separated and night starts to fall, Will realizes he is lost. With spiders and creepers spawning all around him and no shelter in sight, can Will survive the night all on his own?

Lost in the Jungle - Greyson Mann
CHAPTER 1
This is it, thought Will. It’s now or never. He leaned over the fence to scratch the pig’s head, and then he reached for the saddle.
Oops! He’d almost forgotten the bait. Wait here,
he said to the pig. I’ll be right back.
Will grabbed his fishing pole and hurried to the garden to find a ripe carrot. As he tugged the leafy green end of one from the dirt, the pig grunted.
Easy, boy,
said Will, pressing his fishhook through the carrot. You can eat it, but not quite yet.
Then he hurried back to the pigpen and leaned the fishing pole against the fence. The carrot dangled just out of the pig’s reach.
As Will placed his saddle gently on the pig’s back, the pig grunted a protest. But he kept his black eyes on that carrot.
Will eased himself over the fence and lowered himself onto the saddle. Then he reached for the fishing pole.
Okay, boy,
he said. Here we go. Follow the carrot!
Will held the carrot just in front of the pig’s nose, leading him left and right around the pen. The pig moved slowly at first and then began to trot. Will held on tight, laughing out loud. It was working. He was actually riding a pig!
As the animal ran in circles, Will pretended he was a spider jockey. He aimed his bow and arrow—er, fishing pole—at the other pigs in the pen. He released an imaginary arrow. Gotcha!
As he whirled around to search for more pigs, he came face to face with … Seth, his older brother. Seth was running toward the pen, waving his arms in the air. Was he trying to say something?
STOP!
Seth finally cried.
Will dropped the fishing pole in surprise.
The pig came to a screeching halt in front of the carrot.
And Will sailed over the fence and landed squarely in Seth’s pumpkin patch. Ouch.
"What are you doing?!" sputtered Seth from the edge of the garden.
Will couldn’t answer. He was too busy picking pumpkin seeds out of his hair.
So Seth kept talking. First of all,
he scolded, "that saddle was very expensive. I had to trade a lot of gold for it. And saddles are for horses, not pigs. And seriously, Will, don’t you have anything better to do?"
His brown eyes were as dark as the wet earth Will had just landed in. Seth looked really mad. But honestly, right now, Will couldn’t think of a single thing he’d rather do than get back on that pig.
