You can find an extra project online called Silly Story — a game where players fill in words for prompts you create, such as adjective, celebrity, and exclamation. But they don’t know what the story is about! The program then transfers the words into a story template to create the silly story. In creating this story, you learn all about creating code that handles text. The bonus project is available via www.dummies.com/extras/codingforkids!
