Instead, the action centers around friends and family and everyday issues.<BR/><BR/>B readers want books about anything but everyday things! They want to be pulled out of their own world and into something completely different. Somehow, exotic and extraordinary circumstances make it so much clearer what it means to be human.<BR/><BR/>And then there are the Omnivores!

I need them all. We've talked, though, about children who tend to prefer one or the other -- often fantasy for the escapists and realistic fiction for those who like their books to be a little cozier. Not problem novels though; those seem to appeal to kids who use them almost as texts, providing information about worlds and situations they hope they never have to encounter in real life.<BR/><BR/>What do you think?Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972193136749707407noreply@blogger.com
