Join us at Eight Cousins as we welcome author T.M. Murphy and illustrator Mark Penta for the release of their latest activity book, Unusual Objects in Fantastic Places: A Story Starter Book!
About Unusual Objects in Fantastic Places:
Featuring 23 unique story starter prompts plus cool, colorful artwork, Unusual Objects in Fantastic Places makes creative writing more fun than ever!
It all begins with a strange object in a peculiar place... you decide what happens next! Accompanied by bold and bright illustrations, each prompt transports you to a different location with a new item that appears out of place. Let your imagination run wild as you read the beginning of the story and write in plot twists, add new characters or objects, and more--the possibilities are endless!
Part of the Totally Weird Activity Book series created by childhood friends Mark and Ted, Unusual Objects in Fantastic Places is perfect for aspiring writers, avid readers, and creative kids who have a story to tell.
