About this listen
The Mob Squad enters a whole new dimension of danger in this official Minecraft novel!
Things are changing in the town of Cornucopia. The mighty wall that kept the townsfolk sealed off from the outside world is wide open, and the world beyond beckons with the promise of new adventures. The Mob Squad were heroes not so long ago, but the adults are still in charge, and to them, even the most heroic kid is still just a kid.
The Mob Squad’s leader, Mal, is still milking cows and dreaming of the next adventure. Their sharp-eyed archer Lenna is learning everything she can about the Overworld, but the horizon is still far away. Fearless warrior Chug is running a store with his brother, but his reputation for breaking stuff has some folks still calling him a bad apple. And his inventive brother, Tok....
Wait, where did Tok go?
When the fourth member of the Mob Squad vanishes in the night, along with most of the town’s potions, Cornucopia’s elders think they’re dealing with a runaway thief. But Tok wouldn’t just leave without saying anything. And there’s no way he’s a potion thief! There’s something far more dangerous going on here. And if they’re going to stop it, Mal, Lenna, and Chug are on their own. Except, that is, for the one Cornucopian they least want to bring along: Jarro, the worst bully in the Overworld.
But if they’re going to find Tok, they can’t just be three best friends and one total jerk. They’re going to need to learn how to work together all over again - because this is an adventure that can be accomplished only by the Mob Squad!

The tale picks up in Cornucopia, where the villagers still haven’t learned much from past mistakes. The kids have gained a little more freedom, but they’re still treated like second-class citizens. The book uses a rotating perspective, giving each character a few chapters to shine. Just like the first one, the audiobook is of excellent quality and really brings the story to life.
The main villain isn’t particularly memorable and is dealt with rather quickly, but that’s not where the heart of the story lies. The real focus is on character development, especially Jarro, the former bully who starts to see the consequences of his actions. His transformation is meaningful, though I found myself wishing he had grown a bit more. At times, his arrogance still shows through, and for all the hurt he caused over the years, a simple apology doesn’t quite feel enough. Sure, the book explains why he turned out the way he did, but does that really excuse his behavior?
Still, this is a strong second entry in the Mob Squad series and definitely worth reading—though newcomers should absolutely start with the first book. I’m already looking forward to seeing what part three has in store.
A Fun-Filled Sequel That Stays True to Its Roots
