{"product_id":"9781525303432","title":"This Is Not My Story","description":"An author and his hero embark on a genre-bending journey to find the right story.\r\n\r\nThe brave captain of a tiny spaceship is surrounded by flying saucers. Though the situation appears dire, he knows just what to do ... um, wait! The brave captain - ahem, boy - tells the author to stop the action: He's got it all wrong. This is not the boy's story. He belongs in a different story. The author considers this. Then he begins again, with a story about Cattle King Carl, the quickest cattle wrangler in the West ... No! Still not the boy's story? Hmm. Is he a dragon-slaying knight? No! A vampire's next victim? No! A boy going on a date? No! Will the author ever come up with the right story? \r\n\r\nMulti-award-winning author Ryan Uytdewilligen employs a funny and unique take on metafiction and the literary technique of breaking the fourth wall to provide an easy-to-understand exploration of literary genres. The book also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process that highlights the value of perseverance and teamwork. The appealing graphic novel-style art by award-winning illustrator David Huyck features loads of visual interest and humorous details for readers to pore over. With each new story depicting a different genre, this book is an excellent resource for language arts lessons on literary genres. An author's note defines the genres and the differences between fiction, nonfiction and poetry.","brand":"Ryan Uytdewilligen (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Picture book","offer_id":44623612969258,"sku":"9781525303432","price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/1065\/3760\/products\/BNCImageAPI_424bb094-b773-43b4-a35e-362f488e6891.jpg?v=1680851215","url":"https:\/\/onceuponabookstore.ca\/products\/9781525303432","provider":"Once Upon a Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
