About the book Every story in this year's Early Harvest anthology is a map to somewhere that doesn't quite exist. This collection features impossible places, curious cartographies, and the very best stories dreamed up by young authors for an audience of their peers. Young editors, mentored by bestselling author Hilary Badger and publishing industry professionals, have assembled a collection of worldbuilding tales over a yearlong writing project. The collection includes extraordinary stories, artwork and poems created by young Australian writers between the ages of 8 and 12, alongside a story by contributing guest author Hilary Badger. About 100 Story Building 100 Story Building is Victoria’s home of storymaking and creative discovery for children and young people.
