If you turn the first few pages you will meet someone who will tell you that you are NOT holding a book.
After all, a book needs Pages – Hang on, just because you turned a page….
A book needs a main character, someone who is along for the ride the whole way. Wait a minute!
What about setting, and danger and problems? What is going on?
A solution is needed quickly! If only we could think of something!
…..Phew? Problem solved, or is it?
We’ll keep running until…The End
No way is this a book.
A fun and clever way to show the building blocks of a story.
A cover to be opened and pages to be turned.
A character with a tale to tell.
Throw in outer space, the wilds of Africa or even just your lounge at home, and you have a setting. Suddenly…
…something happens, the danger builds and tension rises. Bang! Your imagination has taken you places you need to find a way to get out of. Can you escape? Phew!
The only problem with a book, tale or story is that it has to have an END.
This is a book that denies it’s a book, which is actually a book that tells you how to write a book! Loved it!
