Exquisite Corpse

The Exquisite Corpse collaborative story is finished now and can be read - and listened to - here
http://www.read.gov/exquisite-corpse/

Imagine a story written by Jon Scieszka, Katherine Paterson, Kate di Camillo, Susan Cooper, Gregory Maguire, Patricia and Frederick McKissack, Shannon Hale, Natalie Babbitt, Nikki Grimes, Megan McDonald, Steven Kellog, Lemony Snicket, MT Anderson, Linda Sue Park and Jack Gantos - what a roll call of great writers for children... and then there are the illustrators...

The Exquisite Corpse Adventure
"Ever heard of an Exquisite Corpse? It's not what you might think. An Exquisite Corpse is an old game in which people write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold it over to conceal part of it and pass it on to the next player to do the same. The game ends when someone finishes the story, which is then read aloud...

"This story starts with a train rushing through the night...."
No one knows where or how it will end!
