Alex comes upon her old village and is surprised to meet a child - a half human half zombie child named Leona who reminds her of herself. After taking Leona under her wing, Alex discovers Steve working to rebuild the village they both grew up in too. Everything seems to be going well, but Alex still is half zombie, and Steve is too.

As brave hearted Alex and level headed Steve persevere in their fight against an evil wizard and his enchanted zombies, they slowly make it up the mountain where the wizard seems to have set up his lair. Alex and Steve are "semi zombies" - they still behave like humans but lack the strength to fight like they used to before they were bitten. After killing off half of the zombie warriors, they find themselves in a compromising position - captured by the enchanted zombies and thrown in a cell made of ice. Despite their best attempt to escape, they find themselves thrown in yet another cold cell. The wizard makes an appearance, imploring them to join his army and offering human-hood back to the duo if they join his team. After Alex sees Steve's despondence over being a zombie, she kindly passes him 2 golden apples that will make him human again. His new found strength allows him to punch an escape hole, but by the time he tries to get Alex out it is too late. Steve disappears, not to be heard from again. Now Alex is alone with the wizard and it's time to make a deal with the devil. Like Steve, Alex wants to be human again. And falsely pledging to join the wizard's army seems to be her only salvation. The wizard warms up to Alex and asks her if he can bring a friend or family member for help. That's when she springs to action - asking the wizard to invite her friend and his sister to help prepare for the army, and that's when things start to get exciting. A powerful story with messages about loyalty, triumph in the face of adversity and goodhearted affection between friends, Snowed In will have the whole family on the edge of their seat.
Power is in the wand of the beholder... Steadfast, young Zombie Alex has been kidnapped by a powerful but evil wizard. Rather than get rid of her, the wizard has a different plan: to recruit her to serve as a powerful general in his army. Although the idea of befriending the vile wizard turns her stomach, Alex is forced to play along and comply with his wishes. Luckily, Alex was able to request that her friend, and the wizard's sister, a witch, be transported to the wizard's kingdom to help her prepare for the army. Little does he know, however, that Alex and the witch have been conspiring to defeat the wizard. It turns out that the witch's brother has a major weakness - and it's up to Alex to take advantage of this weak spot before it's too late. What is the wizard's weakness? What will become of the witch? Will Alex be able to defeat the wizard in time? You'll have to read Wanderful Time to find out! Wanderful Time is a fanciful story that will be a roaring good time for any young fan of Minecraft - even those who don't like to read!
