What Is The Exquisite Corpse Adventure?
The Exquisite Corpse Adventure is a
progressive story just like the one many families play on road trips,
at camps, at parties, at home when there is a power outage. It is a game
where one person begins a story, stops at a cliffhanging moment, and
the next person picks it up, continuing on until everyone in the group
has the opportunity to contribute. And just like in those games, in The Exquisite Corpse, characters
spontaneously erupt out of our authors’ imaginations; plot lines tumble
forth, some realized, some lost; and we are often poised at the edge of
a cliff with no logical solution in sight! The Corpse is now being published for a second time on Read.Gov. Click here to read it on Read.gov.
The Exquisite Corpse Adventure authors and illustrators are: M.T. Anderson, Natalie Babbitt, Calef Brown, Susan Cooper, Kate DiCamillo, Timothy Basil Ering, Jack Gantos, Nikki Grimes, Shannon Hale, Lemony Snicket, Steven Kellogg, Gregory Maguire, Megan McDonald, Patricia and Fredrick McKissack, Linda Sue Park, Katherine Paterson, James Ransome, Jon Scieszka, and Chris Van Dusen.
