Write a story with Debbie Dadey this summer.
       Brenton from Australia wanted to write about robbers, Alex wanted to go with I come from a long line of robbers and I think it's awful, what should I do?   Sophia thought we should have fairies.  And Alex made a suggestion for the fairy to take him to a different world. So, I've added to our outline below.  Have something to add or change?  Let Debbie know your choice at KidsTalk.  Next, week we'll start the story.  Can't wait?  Try writing your own adventure.

1.  Steven finds out his parents are robbers-he doesn't like it.
2.  He tries to talk his parents out of being robbers, but they lock him in a room. 
3.  He tries to find a way out of the room.  It's where the robbers store their treasure.  He finds something unusual.
4.  There's a fairy inside. 
5. The fairy has magic powers and takes him to a different world.
6.  The fairy and Steven have adventures.  The fairy is goofy.
7.  Steven wants to get back home.  He misses his family, even if they are robbers.
8.  Steven uses some of his parent's robber tricks to help him escape from bad guys and get part of the way home.
9.  Steven finds his parents.  They are searching for him.  They promise to stop being robbers if he'll come home.
10.  Steven goes with his family, but when they steal food on the way home, he knows that his family is not perfect.  He might not be able to change them, but he knows that they're not all bad.  And that he can be whatever he wants to be, especially since he has a goofy fairy to help him.
