Rachel's Summer Adventure
A few years ago I went to Canada on holiday with my family, we had the most amazing time, experiencing so much from Calgary to Vancouver - we all love Canada - the scenery, the activities and the people.
I decided that it would be fun for Rachel, the main character from What If?, to have a Canadian family holiday too. You can read all about Rachel's Summer Adventure by downloading the short story here.
