ReplyDeleteAwwwww.... I feel we are getting a little off topic here!
ReplyDeleteMegan wants laughter AND tears.
...come to think of it, can't remember any funny bits in my book.
I love how interested you are in the emotions of the reader - and that you appreciate the quirky and off-beat.Here's to the original and involving!
ReplyDeleteYes, stargirl is one of the best - read it to my 9 year old daughter and 11 year son at bedtime last year. We all cried (and laughed). xx
