Learning how this wide range of readers see themselves in the characters is fascinating.barbara stuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125724578887176329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-2867928815717013082010-11-15T15:51:45.006-05:002010-11-15T15:51:45.006-05:00Thanks Michelle!

Ms. Zink, I loved your Prophecy of Sisters. Getting the second book for Xmas.<br /><br />Look at A Great and Terribly Beauty, and I have read where lots of new series are coming out that are historical.<br /><br />These tips are perfect. I am going to try to think of more. Will stay in touch.<br /><br />Again, great post! Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-27118005581570583522010-11-12T14:19:21.850-05:002010-11-12T14:19:21.850-05:00Great post, Jessica!

Even though my book is Gothic fantasy, I've received SO many comments of, "I don't usually like historical books, but I loved this one!" <br /><br />It's a special challenge to get teens to open their minds to something unfamiliar. Thanks for the great tips!<br /><3<br /><br />MZMichelle Zinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127978024081928639noreply@blogger.com
