Customer Reviews

a very helpful book

This guide to writing fiction for children is readable and practical, and contains a number of excellent exercises for generating ideas, clarifying characterization, working out plot details, and handling point-of-view problems. The book's advice is clearer and more specific than that in many other "how to write" books. This would make interesting reading for those fascinated by children's books as well as those who want to write them.
