"The Land of Scarborough Adventures" embraces different forms of storytelling by these amazing students. The stories include: short fiction, memoir, poetry, comics and art about events imaginary and real, human lizards and battles between good and evil and everything in between. “The Land of Scarborough Adventures" is the culmination of a month-long creative project called 360º Stories Online, which brought together 24 young authors from Willow Park Junior and Galloway Road Public Schools in East Scarborough.
The 360° Stories Online program was made possible with the support of the City of Toronto and United Way Greater Toronto, and was facilitated by a collective of dynamic Scarborough-based charitable organizations including: The Reading Partnership, Story Planet, City of Toronto Arts Services and Scarborough Arts in affiliation with the Toronto District School Board.
