Unboring Exploring!: Thrilling Stories by Young Australian Adventurers

Description

Quests, treasure troves, sidekicks, sworn enemies, daring deeds, unbelievable escapes... and so much more! Fourteen young editors, mentored by children's author Rebecca Lim and publishing industry professionals, have put together a collection of adventure-themed stories unlike anything you've ever seen. The collection includes 15 intrepid tales and poems written by young Australian writers between the ages of 8 and 12, alongside a contribution from one of Australia's best-known authors, Sally Morgan.

100 Story Building books are edited by energetic and diverse panel of young people, drawn from eight schools across Melbourne who participate in 100 Story Building's annual Early Harvest publishing program. Each year, the editors at 100 Story Building create Australia's only fiction book that is written and edited by kids for kids. All stories, poems, and other content in the book have been carefully selected by 11- and 12-year-olds, who curate the collection based on the interests and sensibilities of their age group. Over 12 intensive weeks, the young editors draft fun extra features, pore over hundreds of submissions, edit stories, create illustration briefs, brainstorm content and make a million difficult decisions to produce a book that showcases the creative work of their peers. 100 Story Building is Victoria's home of storymaking and creative discovery for children and young people. Our imagination-driven literacy programs empower children to take creative risks, embrace mistakes, follow their passions and experience the joy of expression.
