Young Storytellers Write Stories Based on 'Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors'
Marvel continues mission to nurture a new generation of heroes!
Last summer, Marvel partnered with the non-profit group Young Storytellers giving middle school students a very special opportunity to write stories based on "Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors," and then seeing their artistic vision come to life.
Working with Disney mentors, these students wrote a 3-5 page script based on select characters from "Marvel Rising." The scripts will subsequently be performed by a talented group of Marvel Rising and Marvel Animation voice actors including Chloe Bennet, Kamil McFadden, Milana Vayntrub, Kathreen Khavari, Roger Craig-Smith, and Melanie Minichino, and narrated by Skai Jackson.
Young Storyteller Ruby Arana crafted America Chavez's origin story with insight on why her moms sent her to a new universe.
Squirrel Girl must save her friends Ms. Marvel and Quake from the evil super villain, Exile, before it's too late in Young Storyteller's Corryn's story, "The Missing Friends."

The Secret Warriors must put aside their differences and work together to save Lockjaw from the evil Exile in Young Storyteller Laila's "Stretch, Fire, and Shield."
