Are you a “Library Adventure Hunter?”

If you like exploring the many shelves of books at this library then you are a “Library Adventure Hunter.” You know the story about Jack and the Beanstalk...right? Well, Jack left many magical things behind when he fled from the Giant. And by cutting down the beanstalk to save his life, he could not get back to the castle to retrieve them. This story-craft is about six young adventure hunters, like yourself, who found the only map that Jack made to guide him through the twisting branches and clouds to the Giant’s castle. They discovered Jack’s map tucked between two library books about the “Last Dragon.” These books show the dragon locked in a castle that looks exactly like the one in Jack’s map. Could the dragon still be there? The Library Adventure Hunters decided to find out and possibly release it to its home in the sky.
