    *When a new family moves in next door, best friends butt heads….* 
Best friends Lewis, the zombie villager, and Sebastian, are about to clash big time when a new family moves in next door to Sebastian. First, the buddies suspect that Mr. Moss, head of the family, *might have strange motivations to make the move.* 
What’s more, Mr. Moss has a son William that is Lewis and Sebastian’s age and loves all of the games and comics that the boys love as well. Thinking this is a great opportunity to befriend the new kid, Zombie Villager starts to think again when William starts giving him the cold shoulder – specifically, as Sebastian begins to hang out with the neighbor more. Why doesn’t William like Lewis so much? What are Mr. Moss’ motives anyway? Only time will tell when you read “Frienemies.” 
Kind in spirit, this tale will warm your heart and is an amazing read for the whole family. Although it is engaging and exciting, it also teaches a lesson about patience and kindness – the perfect pick for any Minecraft fan.
