And as for a spin-off, I'd love to see any of the characters from A SNICKER OF MAGIC get a book of their own--Jonah, certainly, as far as MG goes... but also the lady with the backpack of burdens or the banjo-playing uncle.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02285787652269078235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-41945442791992172142014-04-09T12:36:26.658-05:002014-04-09T12:36:26.658-05:00Andrea -- just chiming in to say YES.

What a great idea! I guess it's safe to consider Harry Potter a classic MG (I know you won't disagree, Joy). I'd love Hermione to have her own novel -- I love the dynamic suggested by her dentist parents' pride that their daughter is invited to Hogwarts. If that's not classic enough, maybe a spooky book from the point of view of one of the trapped ghost children in Coraline. I have a query out to Ms. Wexler and would love to win a critique with her! Thanks for the opportunity.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-83668429337538357722014-04-08T12:44:45.060-05:002014-04-08T12:44:45.060-05:00How fun!

I had so much fun thinking about side characters I'd like to see in their own novels, but I think ultimately I've decided on Princess Rhyme and Princess Reason from The Phantom Tollbooth. It's one of my favorite books, and those princesses fascinated me as a kid.
