I am a long retired primary school teacher. I write stories for my granddaughters who at present are 11 and 13. I actually have at least 35 stories to post. The Amanderella ones are the newest, but I have a whole series of ones called The Witch of the Dark Forest and a couple of ones for much younger children.
