Sir Licksalot & The Island Fools
Editor at Stories for Children Magazine, Terri Forehand posted a blog this morning with an additional comment to the review of Sir Licksalot & The Island Fools that I'd like to share:
For Authors: This book is a great example of taking a common plot (ie: magic fountain, magic tree house, magic wardrobe) and putting a unique spin or twist making it a completely original work that grabs the reader. It has depth within character development, a unique setting, and threads of interesting history and life lessons woven tightly into an adventure that kids will love. Even if you don't write fantasy or magical stories, this is a good example for writers to study to help learn the techniques of writing for kids.
