School of Dragons
Contest Winner: Greta Gronberg, Age 10
Each year, we run a creative writing contest, and this year's winner was Greta Gronberg! We were so impressed by her use of dialogue to propel the plot and her tenacity to write an entire short story. Wow! She was also gracious and brave enough to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the editing process of her rough draft in all its messy, iterative wonder.
We hope you peruse this first-time author's published book and enjoy the action and adventure on every page.
