In conjunction with the beginning of our Harris Burdick stories, we have been reading and studying the craft of a wonderful mystery author, Chris Van Allsburg. The brilliant mind behind the well know Jumanji and Zathura, also has written some quirky, weird, and curious books that all follow in interesting plot pattern. Through listening to many of his stories, we have come up with what he does well to capture our attention and make us ask questions and want to read more in hopes of incorporating such techniques into our own writing.
