==========
The Python Pals are "Solve Your Own Adventure" stories to help teach young people Python.
Help!
=====
I would love it if you were to contribute a story. Write your own adventure for Penny and Poppy - The Python Pals.
Submit new stories as a pull request or - if you spot a typo, please raise a bug report.
Also, if you're an illustrator or graphic artist, these books need your help too!
Story Parameters
================
* The two protagonists are Poppy and Penny. Two independently minded young women aged 12 - 15ish.
* They have a Raspberry Pi.
* Poppy's mum is Ada.
* Poppy's dad is not around any more. What has happened to him?
* Penny is Poppy's best friend.
* Penny does most of the typing - she has a tendancy to let Poppy push her around.
* Read the rest of the stories to find out more!
* The adventures can only be solved by writing Python on a Raspberry Pi. Readers must not need anything else in order to complete the task.
Inspiration
===========
When I was a kid, I learned BASIC thanks to the Byte Brothers books. The adventures of two young men determined to solve mysteries using only their wits and their micro-computer.
You can buy copies of the books from Amazon http://bit.ly/ByteBros and many other retailers.
I am indebted Lois McCoy (Cowan) the author and copyright holder of the Byte Brothers books for giving her kind permission to adapt some of her wonderful stories.
