Editing in Story Telling Course_"Lucy and the Enchanted Lands" Story

For this project for my Editing in Story Telling class, I had to choose any type of object (in which I chose a mammals book). Afterwards, I had to create a story in which my chosen object is the central object. I was also able to do this with any type of chosen story genre, in which I chose the fantasy genre. Therefore, with that mammals book, I created a story about a teenage girl named Lucy is sucked into an enchanted kingdom called The Enchanted Lands via a magical mammals book, in which she teams up with Samson - a mighty lion who is the Enchanted Lands’ fearless and compassionate leader - as she meets all of the mammals who live in the book. But when a ruthless mountain lion named RJ begins to threaten the kingdom, it’s up to Samson and Lucy to help restore peace to the kingdom.
