This gripping fantasy adventure (inspired by a real kid's idea) doubles as a creative writing guide for young writers! An enchanted arrow pierces the wall of Hillview--the city is under attack! Years ago, a powerful crystal crown was stolen from a group of magic wielders called Lysors. Lacking the crown's protection, the Lysors hid themselves behind the city walls, shut off from the rest of the world. But with danger upon them once more, can Laura, a spunky girl with a knack for adventure, journey outside Hillview . . . and reclaim the crystal crown?

With the help of Story Pirate Captain Vincent Rolo and the Fantasy Creation Zone, readers can use this novel as inspiration to create their OWN great fantasy adventure!
Book Synopsis Quest for the Crown by : Diana M. Johnson
Download or read book Quest for the Crown written by Diana M. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Martel's son, Pepin the Short, (who will become Charlemagne's father) yearns to become King of All Franks, a title the Merovingians have claimed for hundreds of years. Even should he succeed, can Pepin fight his beloved older brother, Carloman, for the crown? No such scruples hold him from warring with his younger half siblings. In the absence of a Merovingian on the throne, Pepin and Carloman surprise everyone by jointly ruling the Franks as Mayors of the Palace. When Carloman insists they need a Merovingian figurehead king, Pepin acquiesces. Carloman, in penance for an unforgivable act, resigns his office to become a monk, leaving Pepin in sole power over the Franks, 'ruled' by a do-nothing king. Pepin gains the crown through the power of the pope in Rome, thus establishing the idea of the divine right of kings. Then to protect his mentor, Pepin must scale the formidable Alps to battle the Lombards who threaten the pope and Rome. In donating the cities he wins to the papal chair, Pepin begins what will become the Vatican-geographic territory belonging to the pope. "Deftly written by Diana M. Johnson, Quest for the Crown is a compelling historical novel... engaging and enthusiastically recommended." James Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Midwest Book Review. "Ms. Johnson is an expert on this family. She will surprise and entertain you; all the time telling a story based on authentic fact." Alan Caruba, Editor, Bookviews.com.

Book Synopsis What Is Your Quest? by : Anastasia Salter
Download or read book What Is Your Quest? written by Anastasia Salter and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Your Quest? examines the future of electronic literature in a world where tablets and e-readers are becoming as common as printed books and where fans are blurring the distinction between reader and author. The construction of new ways of storytelling is already underway: it is happening on the edges of the mainstream gaming industry and in the spaces between media, on the foundations set by classic games. Along these margins, convergent storytelling allows for playful reading and reading becomes a strategy of play. One of the earliest models for this new way of telling stories was the adventure game, the kind of game centered on quests in which the characters must overcome obstacles and puzzles. After they fell out of fashion in the 1990s, fans made strenuous efforts to keep them alive and to create new games in the genre. Such activities highlight both the convergence of game and story and the collapsing distinction between reader and author. Continually defying the forces of obsolescence, fans return abandoned games to a playable state and treat stories as ever-evolving narratives. Similarly, players of massive multiplayer games become co-creators of the game experience, building characters and creating social networks that recombine a reading and gaming community. The interactions between storytellers and readers, between programmers and creators, and among fans turned world-builders are essential to the development of innovative ways of telling stories. And at the same time that fan activities foster the convergence of digital gaming and storytelling, new and increasingly accessible tools and models for interactive narrative empower a broadening range of storytellers. It is precisely this interactivity among a range of users surrounding these new platforms that is radically reshaping both e-books and games and those who read and play with them.
