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.
(Join
in 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!)
Kidnapped!
Natalie thought she would be safe on this island. This
senior trip on the cruise ship was turning out to be a horrendous experience.
Everyone argued and no one wanted to do the same things. Couples were fighting
and even breaking. She had saved her own money to go on this trip and she
wanted to enjoy it so when the others were being jerks, she decided to go off
on her own. The two men in the front seat weren’t even speaking to her. They
locked the doors so she couldn’t even get out. Where were they taking her? Were
they going to hurt her? Was she going to disappear like that other girl she read
about who went missing on her senior trip? Why didn’t she listen to her parents
when they told her to stay in a group? (141 words)

Pat--This story sounds like it includes a marvelous lesson: always listen to your parents (ha). Thanks for playing along. You definitely took it in a dark direction. That kind of story would keep readers engaged.
Yikes! Those men might even be part of a human-hair trafficking ring! Poor Natalie! She could be returning to the ship BALD.
