“The Ledger” newspaper in Lakeland, Fla., is asking children to finish a Thanksgiving short story written by Professor Steve Watkins (http://www.theledger.com/article/20101116/NEWS/11165019/1326?p=1&tc=pg). The newspaper will publish the top three entries from children in grades 2-8. Professor Watkins, the award-winning author of “Down Sand Mountain,” grew up in the Brewster and Fort Meade areas of Florida. His next young adult book, “What Comes After,” is due out soon.
