My Character Wants Something Weird, and That’s the Whole Story

For ages 8-12 who write ‘they wanted to be happy.’ The book teaches kids to make wants specific and a little weird (she wanted her dog to learn to spell, he wanted to find the world’s worst sandwich). The weirder the want, the better the story.
