| Most Creative Story | "Another Time, Another Place" by Ivan Valiaev | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| From Welshies, wolves with the heads of frogs, to illness-inducing purple cherries, this story is full of creativity. The author created a whole world, complete with town names, inventions, and very interesting creatures, which the two main characters, Max and Tim, encounter on their adventurous journey. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "The Two Caterpillars" by Kelly Huynh | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Most Entertaining Story | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Who's ever encountered a witch that turns butterflies into caterpillars? Main character Courtney, left with the two caterpillars belonging to her friend Kelly while Kelly is on vacation, meets a good witch who helps her out, making sure that the caterpillars don't have a chance to fly away before Kelly gets home. The author uses very realistic and amusing characters and dialogue in this truly entertaining tale! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Most Improved Story | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "The Seven Chairs" by Megan Trinh | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chairs, chairs, everywhere! These chairs were literally sent all over the place - one even ends up on Mars! And it all starts because a stubborn sparkling fairy doesn't get her way! Now, the chairs will never be found! But readers can read all about where they ended up. This story started out as one paragraph, and the author was successfully able to weave an entire story revolving around this trouble-making fairy and the seven chairs she she hides around the world - and in space! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
