Crafting a great story can be as fun as reading one with this action-packed introduction to fiction writing as your child s guide!

Nothing is quite as exciting and frustrating as chasing a story idea out of your head and onto the page. Award-winning author and illustrator Jeff Mack should know he s been telling stories since the second grade. With How to Write a Story, he brings the writing process to life for the next generation of yarn spinners.

Ideas are hiding anywhere, our narrator notes as we open on a pensive mouse at his writing desk. This proves true a moment later, when a stuffed bunny leaps from a shelf and out of the house, straight to a cardboard box spaceship. Writing a story is like traveling through space, we continue as mouse and bunny do just that: It may take you a long time. You may not always know where you re going. Once landed on an alien planet, the adventure continues to the bottom of the sea, the stomach of a big fish, and the lair of a killer robot. Each thrilling beat illustrates a tool in the fiction writer s kit.

Whether used in the classroom or gifted to the talented youngster in your life, How to Write a Story is timeless, multifaceted, and empowering.

Jeff Mack
Rezensionen
Mack offers an immensely entertaining tale while explaining various processes in clear, practical steps.. . . The ideal vehicle for inspiring children s own flights of fancy.
Kirkus Reviews

This universal message of encouragement is sure to resonate with readers whether or not they have an interest in writing. A sweet and satisfying choice for a story hour about imagination, or to introduce an elementary school unit on creative writing.
School Library Journal

Mack (recently the more earthbound Time to Make Art, rev. 1/24) here revisits the theme of creativity, smartly blending an elaborate analogy of the writing process into the visual telling of one mouse s space odyssey. . . . This cosmic adventure will inspire many readers to write their own stories and follow their imaginations to unexpected places.
