Maggie's Marvelous Misadventures

By Gary J Spack

In Maggie's Marvelous Misadventures, Maggie is a third grader who is bored being stuck at home during the COVID-19 shelter in place. Her mom suggests that instead of just playing more video games, she should try to do all the things she's always wanted to do, but never had the time.

Maggie takes her mom's advice and gets started on her "things to do" list of adventures. Unfortunately, things don't always work out the way she expects, resulting in surprisingly humorous mishaps.

Within the story's humorous theme, there is a message of what it means to be responsible in the face of the pandemic.
