OPS AUTHORS
Caryn, Leylani, Bryce, Joey - Uninvited Guests
At OPS we are a community of avid readers, but we're also a community of creative writers. With this in mind, we are excited to continue our OPS Authors series, which highlights student authors here at OPS on our OPS Library's Check It Out blog.
In our third installment we'd like to spotlight a short story written by a group of OPS Authors -- Caryn, Leylani, Bryce, and Joey. These four OPS students recently created a short story inspired by an illustration by author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg from his picture book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. Their story, Uninvited Guests, which takes its name from the illustration of the same name, is an eerie tale with a surprise twist of an ending, so click here to give it a read and check out the interview we did with two of the authors.

James. It is a wonderful story about how a transformative trip to the barbershop freshens up a young boy's look — and makes him feel like a king.
