Becoming Legends

    It's been a wild adventure for these 7 kids. They are nearly out of the school year and have accomplished so much. More than a few others.

If you haven't yet, meet the amazing 3rd grader from Shiver and Fears: Into the Legendary Store:

Mya Ivory

Carter Fuller

Aria Wilson

Cristal Lopez

Angelique Boyd

Nhayla Garcia

 and Jacob Huerta

     Although Shiver and Fears books had been published based on real people, such as The Secret Saturday featuring Trey Hardwick, No Body Park, featuring Kyle Massey and Boys Don't Play with Dolls featuring Michael Maw. So what makes this book so different?

    This is Shiver and Fears first contest that has reached over 100 pair of eyes and ears. What does that mean? For one thing, this contest actually included readers at the proper age Shiver and Fears books is made for. Secondly, I was able to gain interest to more people.

    I feel that this book might have reached out to more readers than what is questionable on social media.

This is what these kids had to say to show it:

Why did you enter this contest?

This question was asked because nearly every 3rd grader was interested, yet only a few of them turned in a sheet. These are the answers that were given:

Nhayla Garcia: Wanted to write my own book, if I didn't win.

Aria Wilson: It's cool! Books are cool, I love to read.

Angelique Boyd: I like reading books

Jacob Huerta: Don't have a reason

Mya Ivory: Wanted to be noticed by others around me

Carter Fuller: To show it to my family

Cristal Lopez: Not sure why

How did you feel knowing your book is good enough for a book?

The kids' titles were not handpicked. It all depended on the first and last name. So what word best show how much they appreciate being picked?

Nhayla Garcia: Had some doubt

Aria Wilson: Confident

Angelique Boyd: Happy

Jacob Huerta: Excited

Mya Ivory: not sure

Carter Fuller: Proud

Cristal Lopez: Felt Good
