The mother of 10 year-old twins Max and Maggie Pruitt has the same wish, and comes up with a pretty fun way to accomplish it, resulting in a hilarious he-said/she-said children’s novel series that your kids will love to read! Max and Maggie spend their summer vacation making a shared journal full of funny stories and back and forth comments, displaying both the joys and struggles of having a sibling.
The fun doesn’t stop with the summer journal- now there are two activity books that will get any child more involved in the writing process! The “Mom Made Us Write This: Family Quiz Book” will get the whole family talking and learning more about each other with random questions and plenty of space to doodle or write. Kids can also make their own journal with “Mom Made Us Write This: Write Your Own Shared Journal.” This activity book gives kids a goal- write 100 pages of your very own shared journal- just like Maggie and Max! The twins will guide the journalists through the process with funny comments and tips on making any journal sharing situation a success.
The example set by Maggie and Max is just what kids need to get creative and interested in starting their own journal. The twins show readers that writing your own stories can be just as fun and hilarious as reading them, and of course, things are always better if you share!
