I really enjoyed the Percy Jackson books - they certainly are action-packed! I think what makes them funny is the narrative voice and also the unexpected characters. I've been trying to play around with both in my WIP, though I think I could still have more fun with voice. Thanks Valerie!

Carroll Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:12:28 +0000 http://www.annastan.com/?p=1083#comment-722 I've also been working on revisions for a funny (I think) MG adventure! Some funny MG books I can recommend are Carl Hiaasen's Hoot and Flush (he's got a new book out that I haven't read, Scat) and Lisa Yee's Millicent Min Girl Genius (I just picked up her new one Bobby Versus Girls Accidentally, but I haven't read it yet). Hmmm...I thought I had more, but without my books right in front of me, I seem to be drawing a blank. Good luck with the rest of the revisions. I'll see if I can think of anymore books!
