Saturday Story, March 2008 Edition

March 8th, 2008 | by Mitchell Allen |

This month’s Saturday Story is titled “Djinn“. Our young protagonist meets a different kind of magical creature. He also gets a special peek into his mother’s childhood adventures.

I like sharing this story. It brought out the kid in me, both in the subject matter and the presentation.

It’s the result of participating in my kids’ home-school creative writing project, a few years ago.
Rated T for Tame. The strongest language is “Dag!”
