Terrific, by Jon Agee


Synopsis: Eugene Mudge lives in Dismal, ND, and has a little problem with negativity. When he wins a free trip to Bermuda, his response is "Terrific, I'll probably get a really nasty sunburn." Nothing seems to go right for him and no matter how horrible the experience – a wrecked cruise ship, a deserted island, a talking parrot, and almost dying of thirst – his response is always a snide "Terrific." Eugene's a grumpy old man, but sometimes, grumpy old men can surprise you. Sometimes, they even surprise themselves.

Activity: Each group received random items (eg. notebook, T-shirt etc) and had to pick 5 items to help them escape from Eugene's desert island. (The kids had to explain their choices)
