Opis

Short Stories for Curious Kids is aimed at middle-readers (years 8+) and has 127 pages. Three engaging short stories for children to enjoy before bedtime, on long journeys or during quiet moments. These alternative stories span a variety of genres to capture the interest and imaginations of children who prefer to read shorter books. The first story is set in World War Two during the London Blitz. Follow the protagonist as he strives to find his best friend alive in the aftermath of a bombing. In the second story, teenager Stacey reluctantly goes to a creepy house where she discovers the hidden truths behind the mysterious rumours she's heard about a 'Mad Old Lady'. Finally, step into Thomas's strange first day at a new school. Filled with dread, he tries to make sense of the mind-boggling madness surrounding him. Once you've finished the three stories, read the Author's Insight and Educational Notes at the end of the book to learn the secrets behind the stories, including some valuable writing techniques designed to educate and inspire future writers.
