The best children's and young adult novels take readers on
wonderful outward adventures and stirring inward journeys. In The
Magic Words, editor Cheryl B. Klein guides writers on an enjoyable
and practical-minded voyage of their own, from developing a
saleable premise for a novel to finding a dream agent. She delves
deep into the major elements of fiction-intention, character, plot,
and voice-while addressing important topics like diversity,
world-building, and the differences between middle-grade and YA
novels. In addition, the book's exercises, questions, and
straightforward rules of thumb help writers apply these insights to
their own creative works. With its generous tone and useful tools
for story analysis and revision, The Magic Words is an essential
handbook for writers of children's and young adult fiction.
From first haircut to first ice-cream cone, each year brings a new
cycle of experiences  With each new year comes countless
little wonders. From the highs—first snowfall, first new
umbrella, first beach trip—to the lows—first missed bus, first
lost umbrella, first sunburn— every year older means another
cycle of everyday experiences. In their clever, playful, observant
picture book, acclaimed author Cheryl B. Klein and illustrator Qin
Leng explore many truths of childhood through a calendar year of
small moments that, all together, comprise what it is to be a kid.
Two hamster roommates with wildly different personalities crammed
in one cage--what could go wrong in this hilarious story about
introverts versus extroverts? It's been two hundred and five days
since Henry has had peace. That's because it's been two hundred and
five days since Marvin has come to live with him. Marvin, who loves
to talk in the tunnels, talk while they're eating, talk while
they're running. Marvin, who drives Henry up the cage walls. But
when Henry finally loses his cool and gets exactly what he wanted,
both hamsters have to figure out a way to live together and work
through their communication mishaps.
