Nzinga’s old neighbourhood is changing fast and not for the better!

First the noise starts – drilling all day, every day!

Then beloved shops and homes start disappearing!

Can Nzinga save her favourite street before it’s too late?

Meanwhile, Phantasy Philly – Nzinga’s amazing Minecraft build – is nowhere near finished. With her cousin Jannah acting weird and refusing to help, and a huge Minecraft convention just weeks away, time is running out. Can Nzinga find her voice, bring her team together and fight for her community both in-game and in real life?

This is a story about standing up for what matters and discovering that even the quietest person can make the biggest difference.
