Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very special Christmas-themed adventure featuring the hilarious underdog narrator every Minecrafter can relate to! Gerald Creeper Jr. needs a new plan to survive the holidays. Why? Because he "accidentally" spent the emeralds his parents gave him to buy gifts. Oops! But no worries. He's sure he can make it all back by helping Sam the Slime put on a holiday show for little mobs in the neighborhood. Gerald can picture it already: he'll perform his new song "Rapping through the Snow." Everyone at Mob Middle School will love it! Instead, he's humiliated when Sam wraps him in twinkly lights and dubs him a talking Christmas tree. Gerald is ready to explode, until he meets a baby zombie with a special holiday wish. With a Santa skin, a wolf-drawn sleigh, and a potion of fire-resistance (to help him safely down the chimney), can he make her wish come true? This special Christmas edition, Sneakin’ Through the Snow, is the third book in this laugh-out-loud funny, heavily illustrated, diary-format series for Minecrafters. This adventure series is created especially for readers who love the fight of good vs. evil, magical academies like Hogwarts in the Harry Potter saga, and games like Minecraft, Terraria, and Pokemon GO.

Download or read book Sam O White Alaskan written by Jim Rearden and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This was an excellent book about a true pioneer! A very interesting story about the life of an amazing man. Sam was generous, courageous, and a friend to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him." Sam O. White was a tough, deep-voiced, six-foot-tall, two-hundred-pound former Maine lumberjack and guide. From 1922, for half a century he crisscrossed wild Alaska by foot, with packhorses, dog teams, canoe, riverboat, and airplane. He helped map the Territory, trap fur, and became the world’s first flying game warden. White wrote exciting tales about his Alaska adventures, and those writings make up the bulk of this volume. In 1927, he arrived at Fort Yukon as a game warden when millions of dollars worth of fine arctic furs annually arrived there. The hardy frontier trappers considered the new game warden a joke, but he quickly taught them to respect conservation laws. He was frustrated by the impossibility of adequately patrolling thousands of square miles by dog team, boat, and on foot, so with his own money, he bought an airplane. Pioneer pilots Noel and Ralph Wien taught him how to fly it. White then startled remote trappers and others by suddenly arriving from the sky. In 1941, lack of backing from Juneau headquarters caused him to resign as a wildlife agent. At Fairbanks, Noel Wien made him Chief Pilot for Wien Airlines. For the next two decades White flew as an Alaskan bush pilot, admired for his flying skill and the superior service he provided residents who flew with him, and who depended upon him for receiving mail and supplies. He had countless friends—one hundred arrived for his seventieth birthday party. His integrity and principles were of the highest. Decades after his death, he is still spoken of with awe by the long-time Alaskans.
