The first book in an all-new graphic novel series for Minecrafters—The Magic Portal! NOT OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG. In a world where combat games are the key to survival, two rivals get accidentally sucked into a portal that brings them back in time to the very beginning of The End. There, they uncover the ancient secrets of an Enderman’s unusual behavior. In order to get back home and share this valuable knowledge, Keri and Omar must guide the Endermen to carry out their plan to build the End Portal. The problem is, the Endermen aren’t so keen on following the plans Keri and Omar have laid out for them. In fact, if they’re not careful, they’ll find out just how hostile an Enderman can get. Will Keri learn to trust Omar? Can these two enemies find a way to get along long enough to hatch a plan, convince the Endermen to build the End Portal, and return home without making any waves in their future timeline?

About the author
Cara J. Stevens
70 books63 followersI have wanted to be a writer since I was four years old and fell in love with reading. I wrote stories and songs and poems. I wrote plays and scribbled thoughts and ideas in notebooks. I wrote when I was supposed to be doing sports, and sometimes I wrote under the covers by flashlight when I was supposed to be asleep in bed.
I got my first big break writing stories for Sesame Street video games. Then I helped design and create video games based on books, like Bruce Coville's My Teacher is an Alien and Roxie Munro's Inside Outside World. I got my big break when Byron Preiss commissioned me to write my first novel, Dragon School. I felt like the luckiest person in the world because I got to live my dream!
That was 20 years ago! Since then, I've written many more books. I write about Paw Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants, Mickey Mouse and Bubble Guppies for little kids. I write about Fortnite, Minecraft and Terraria video games for bigger kids. I also get to write about cool trends like Fidget Spinners, the K-Pop band BTS, how to record your family history, and a guide to playing Pokemon Go!
None of what I do would be possible without encouragement from my family and friends, the love and support of my amazing husband, guidance from all the fantastic editors, publishers and illustrators I work with, and of course letters and notes from readers like you!

I FINISHED IN TWO DAYS?!
June 23, 2025
Who was your favorite character? Why did you like them?
"Of course, the main character. Keri. Because she was the one who made the portal, I suspect, called the dawn of time that led to a realm they made up and didn't tell us the name of.
Where did the story take place?
"There was this nether portal that led to the end with no way back. And they had to get an end crystal. "
What was the most exciting or surprising part?
"Probably going into the portal because I thought it would lead to the nether. But it actually led to the end."
Did anything in the book remind you of something in your life?
"Actually, yes. It kind of reminds me of us being together because it was about two characters named Omar and Keri. They were the only ones who went through the portal because they were cornered by Endermen"
What was the problem in the story, and how did it get solved?
"The problem was that they got stuck in a dimension and had no way to get out. At the end, they finally figured out that they needed flint and steel!"
If you could change one thing in the story, what would it be?
"Honestly, I'd change the music they were losing. They were using a music disc that I don't know what it was, but I would use pigstep."
