Promote reading and writing and a study of North Carolina history. Request the 10-chapter serial story, Molly’s Beaufort-town by Lynn Allred, available in November. Read sample chapters and review the promos and curricula. Learn more details and order the story by completing the REQUEST form.

Allred creates a story that focuses on the life of an adventurous young girl growing up in Beaufort, North Carolina in the late 1700s.  She offers the story to North Carolina newspapers at no charge through the Newspaper in Education program on the 300th anniversary of the founding of Beaufort, the state’s third oldest city.  A grave marker in Beaufort's Old Burying Ground inspired Allred’s historical fiction. Allred graduated from East Carolina University and works for the News-Times in Morehead City.
