Get a Job, Creep

Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries meet the world of Minecraft in this illustrated novel.

When Gerald’s parents decide it’s time for him to learn the value of an emerald, he sets out to get the perfect summer job. Wolf-walking, anyone? Baby-zombie-sitting? Llama grooming? Gerald isn’t exactly loving his options.

When his mom starts selling vitamins and minerals, Gerald comes up with a sales idea of his own—a BIG idea. But he’s going to need some help. After he hires a few friends, they start raking in the emeralds. Gerald is going to be rich! He can see it already! But his fortune might come with a pretty big price tag, too.
