MILTON MILLS - The Friends of the Milton Free Public Library have announced the winners in the Milton High School Fun Fan Fiction contest.

This year the the Friends chose two third-place winners.
The first third-place winner is Emma Richards, who added an additional female pig to the classic "Three Little Pigs" tale. This pig uses her charm to send the wolf away forever! Her change was clever and easily understood.
Our other third-place winner is Hunter Harris. Hunter chose a very difficult book, "The Kite Runner", imagining what would have happened if Hassan had intervened in the assault of his friend Hazara. His writing was well done and suspenseful.
Chase Picard garnered a second-place for his very funny take on the "Three Bears". In Chase's imagining, "Goldilocks" is the bear that breaks into a cabin owned by three humans.
The first-place winner, Lyric Picard, added a modern twist to "Cinderella". Cinderella gets a glimpse of how the prince really acts toward people and chooses accordingly. Told from a contemporary point of view, Lyric shows us how Fan Fiction is done
