Summary

These 54 unique children's tales are written by slightly older children. They include an animated bus that breaks down in a bad part of town while carrying nuns, a duck that eats too many strawberries for his own good, and a basketball game between bunnies and tigers. The stories in Exactly transport readers, young and old, to imaginative new worlds. Each story is vividly illustrated by one of 40 professional artists. What’s more is that these 54 uniquely crafted tales are written and edited by juniors and seniors at Wallenberg Traditional High School in San Francisco. These tales cover adventure and fantasy, and mold old fairy tales to fit a new generation’s taste.
