Synopsis
Emma wants a boat for her fishing trips. When she finds a bag of gold, it seems her dreams will come true. That is, until others come looking for the gold. Twins Sam and Sara both want to ride their horses in the upcoming race. After arguing, a more desperate race takes place – one that is life or death. Ethan didn’t want to move and doesn’t like his new house. Then the noises start. What is in the attic and what is taking his toy cars? This is a collaboration from a school workshop. I worked with the kids on story structure, and they helped shape several stories which resulted in this book. Fantastical tales from fantastical minds. The kids supplied the ideas and learned how to place them within a basic story structure, including how to decide if an idea should be taken out. Then I wrote out their stories for them to read. The proceeds from this book go back to the Southeast Middle School Library for more books that kids can enjoy. As always, enjoy the adventure!
