Great Story Starters for Homeschool Students!

Why does a story starter work so well? Each story suspends the student in the middle of a predicament. He is then faced with the question, “What happens next?” This is his cue to expand and embellish the story however he wants. He learns to write freely, with imagination and zest - and with far more boldness than he may be accustomed to.

These action-packed stories by Karen Andreola are especially appealing to boys. Thumb through the pages to choose whatever story catches your fancy. This large selection is meant to satisfy the varied interests of both boys and girls.

To spark even more curiosity, each story is illustrated with one or more engaging 19th century pictures. The settings are sometimes intense, sometimes funny, sometimes sweetly domestic, but always pose a challenge. Here is your child's opportunity to rescue those in danger, comfort the sick, cheer the lonely, laugh with the ridiculous, tame the wild, and do battle for good.

Awaken the dormant writer in your child with this lively approach to creative writing!
