Unlike most readers of this book, I have no desire to write books for children or teens because I much prefer to READ books written for children and teens and occasionally to wax analytically (and at horrendous length) about same on . Thus, I was far more interested in Ms. Liu's other two books: The Great Call of China (S.A.S.S.) and Paris Pan Takes the Dare, but I needed to buy something else in order to get free shipping on my order, and I WAS a bit curious. Normally an author waits to, you know, actually PUBLISH a book or two before she presumes to tell you how to do the same, but Ms. Liu published this book on writing for children and teens over a year before she published her first book for children or teens.What could such a newbie have to teach?Quite a lot it turns out.I was simply stunned by how logical, how useful, how educational, and how well written this book was! I found myself either nodding in agreement with her or thinking how much sense she was making! I know I have a much better understanding of how books get written and published than before, and I thought I was pretty well informed before.And along the way something else was happening...I started thinking, "I could do this."Now, I can assure you that I have no intention of following up on this thought!
