Jim Weiss Presents: New Stories from New Friends
In Jim’s fresh retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Wild Swans”, fifteen-year-old Elise must rescue her brothers from the curse of an evil witch. Natalia Bilbao’s “Tennis Frenemies” is the story of a passionate young tennis player who forms an unlikely friendship with her rival. Pricilla Chung weaves a magical tale of children in a dreamlike land of talking animals from the Chinese zodiac in “Aria’s Dragon Light.” Finally, in Dale Guy Madison’s “The Wedding Challenge”, an African princess declares that she’ll only marry the man who can convince her to climb down from a tree.
