This story was inspired by a level 1 class story that we created together in 2013. It is mostly in the present tense but with a spattering of advanced grammar when needed. This edition features many illustrations, including 5 full page cartoons to help the reader imagine what is happening in the story. There are also word clouds for chapters 1-10 with an essay on how to use these as tools to make the novel more comprehensible and to lead students to discuss the novel within a structured, no-anxiety atmosphere.
