Creatures of Imagination
by Kirsten Brass

It’s a grey and rainy afternoon when Margaret begins her first babysitting job. But she’s stumped when none of the children are interested in her imagination games. All they want to do is play on their screens. That is, until a storm hits, and the power goes out. Stuck in the dark with nothing to do, the children finally agree to play Margaret’s games. Then something unexpected happens. Everything they imagine comes to life. Margaret and the children are transported into a fantastical world of their own creation. Together, they journey through strange lands and meet bizarre creatures. But when the children’s imaginations take a dark turn, it’s up to Margaret to get them home.
