    About this ebook

    Hi many name is Susan Day and I love telling stories and sharing them with my friends.

    Interactive Adventure Stories are stories that I have written but I need your help finishing them. They are designed for children and adults aged 8 years and older.

    In these new and exciting books you will be able to choose the details and create their own fabulous stories. Using the story outline and your fantastic imagination, you’ll be able to take control and make the story your own by adding words in to certain sections of the story.

    Interactive Adventure Stories help improve your imagination, reading and writing skills. We all know that if a child enjoys reading and writing they are going to reach higher goals and have more fun learning. Interactive Adventure Stories are designed to allow your child to take control of the story and enjoy every page.

    To get you started I’ve provided hints in brackets in the beginning (It will look like this and it will be a list of words that you can use or will prompt your imagination.) After that, it’s up to you, but be careful; you’ll need to write down your answers so you can refer back to them as the story progresses!

    Author

    Susan Day

    Susan is an author, canine behaviourist, and a storyteller. She lives with her family and dogs, in particular, Rocky the Border collie and Stella, the blind dog. She spends her time blogging, writing and illustrating; training and counselling dogs and being bossed around by the family cat, Speed Bump Charlie and his sidekick, Furball (see Dogs in Space). Susan travelled around the world twice before she was seven years old. It seemed only fitting that the wonderful events she experienced and the places she visited on these journeys be recorded for history. Thus, her story telling skills began. Firstly, to Rupert Bear, her lifelong companion, and then to a host of imaginary friends and finally to her pet dog once the family finally set down roots in Australia. Susan is passionate about children's literature and wants to inspire children to be better people and encourage them to follow their dreams. She runs workshops for children teaching them how to form the wonders of their imaginations into stories. Susan lives in a small country town where there are more kangaroos than people. She shares her country property with four dogs, three cats, three rescue guinea pigs and a very large fish and her patient husband. More about her adventures are reflected in Clarence the Snake from Dunolly.
