This summer, challenge your imaginative skills with the Society of Young Inklings

writing challenge, presented in collaboration with San José Public Library.photo of Soup-or-Hero by Terry Border’s Bent Objects (a soup can with wire arms and legs holding a spoon)

Step One: Create Your Character

Transform an everyday object into a character. Anything is possible: Bananas

Step Two: Take Your Character On The Town

Take your character on four outings. On each outing, snap your character‘s

photo and write an account of their extraordinary tale.

Step Three: Submit Your Writing

Submit your episodes to the Society of Young Inklings between June 1 and

August 15, 2011—We’ll post them on the Caught on Camera blog.

Step Four: Celebrate!

Participants who complete the challenge are invited to an exclusive celebration

on August 20, 2011  at the Willow Glen Branch Library; complete with a Skype visit from author, Lisa Yee,

games and, of course, delicious treats!
