In Back-of-the-Book Blurb
Friday # 12 from Sioux's Page, Sioux offers this challenge.
She
posts a picture and you need to imagine it as a graphic for a book. You choose
the genre and book title, and then write a blurb that might appear on the back
of the book.
·
The blurb should be 150
words or less (not including the title).
·
The genre is wide-open.
·
Each blogger should
include their blurb on their own blog, and link back to this post.
·
Have fun with it. Go to
the other posts and comment on the other blurbs.
·
You can do fancy techy
things with the photo.

if you dare...! It sounds like fun! I think this would be a lot of fun to do
with students especially since they would be expected to write 150 words or
less!)
The Stranger
Emily
and Amy were skipping down the street when they saw him. They stopped and
stared until he looked down and said, “Weren’t you taught that it was rude to
stare?”
Emily
said, “But we’ve never seen anyone wearing what you are. Why are you wearing
that?”
He
looked down and said, “Well, young miss, it wouldn’t be good to go around
without any clothes! “Emily and Amy giggled.
Then he
asked, “Where am I?” and they told him that he was in their town called
Cherryville and asked him to come home to meet their mom. A little unsure, he
agreed.
He
wanted to know where he was and what year it was. He had to figure out a way to
get home because he really missed his family. He was tired of having to explain
who he was to strangers. (141 words)

Pat--I had initially thought of a time-traveling story, too. I think your story has lots of possibilities.
He's definitely not of this world!
