Eighth-Grade Adventures: Three eighth-graders from Waynesboro, Va., who created a script for an afternoon children’s show about a vacation gone wrong will travel to Los Angeles next month to sign a contract with Steven Spielberg. Renee Carter, Amy Crosby and Sarah Creek wrote an illustrated 200-page story book for an episode of the show, “Tiny Toon Adventures,” which is produced by Spielberg. Someone at Warner Bros., which syndicates the show, mistakenly opened the manuscript package and liked it, and it was eventually passed to Spielberg. The girls said they’ll be paid $250 for the episode.
