Weigh Up About Books Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly

I purchased this for my son (10) to use in our homeschool curriculum this year. As a writer, I understand the need to build the foundations early, and this guide offers that in a fun, witty, yet easy to understand. Last year, my son began creative writing on his own. He loves building worlds, characters, and engaging his imagination. I couldn't ignore it, but I realized I needed help.After reading over each lesson and the instructions, I'm in love. I even found myself asking, "Where was this

Gail Carson Levine is a quirky author. I hate to say it, but I've yet to read "Ella Enchanted" or "Dave at Night" or any of her princess books. I have heard of "Ella" but I just never really thought of picking it up. I might after reading this book. Heck, I'll go ahead and say it, I didn't even know who the author was until she mentioned "Ella Enchanted". It's sad, I know...It is a very helpful book. I like the way she presented things and how she offered more than one way to do everything,

I'm pretty sure I owe Gail Carson Levine my soul for convincing me to save everything I wrote.When I was eleven and read this book for the first time, I was desperate for help: I could not control my drive to write, but knew that everything I wrote was garbage, and was caught in a constant cycle of hand-cramped creativity and furious rage over how incapable I was. I wanted to be able to improve, and although no book could ever be a magical fix, this one offered some helpful advice and got me

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I hate reading books on writing. They're all either dry, give bland advice, or they repeat what they say over and over again, and it feels like reading one of the countless OTHER books out there on writing.This book doesn't feel that way for me. I've adored Gail Carson Levine since I was a child. Ella Enchanted was one of the books that made me who I am today, steered my interests towards fractured fairy tales. I've read many of her books, and she is

This was very much writing 101 for children and young adults. I enjoyed it but it wasn't groundbreaking. I more so enjoyed this book for seeing behind the scenes of Gail's books and seeing her specific writing process.

I enjoyed this book. It's a book on writing, written to young readers (I would guess middle school or early high school). The book is filled with activities. Every chapter ends with questions for the reader to think about and a writing activity to try. It's a short book, and it reads fast, but the author's questions were good enough that I close the book more than once to work on my own writing. Perhaps that's the best compliment you can give any book on writing: it made me want to write more.
