Join Nzinga, Samir, and Jalen as they navigate changes to both the real and Minecraft world in this new novel. Nzinga and her brother Samir love end-of-summer visits to their Grandmom, who lives in their old neighborhood. Grandmom fosters adorable cats, and she keeps a gaming PC for Nzinga and Samir to play their favorite game - Minecraft! Nzinga, Samir, and a neighbor kid, Jalen, have been working for months on a design for a new city Minecraft competition: Phantasy Philly. They must not only rebuild a version of a Philadelphia city block but also reimagine it in some special way - whatever that means. But when Nzinga and Samir arrive to Grandmom's house, everything has changed. The cats are skittish. The neighbors don't come outside. Jalen avoids Nzinga and Samir.

And there is incessant drilling. New apartments are going up, replacing chopped-down trees. Nzinga sees how noise pollution is hurting her old neighborhood, but what can she do about it? And how are her and Samir supposed to fight that battle while also building the ideal Minecraft neighborhood? Along the way, Nzinga may just learn how even the quietest voices can have the biggest impact .
