The online workshop is a success! Very lively group--super discussion. If you missed out on joining the class for the month of November, it will be offered again in February.
Slow starts and sleepy endings to scenes and chapters can ruin a manuscript's chance of being published. Conversely, solid hooks can make the sale. Setting such practical matters aside, what author wouldn't be thrilled to hear someone say, "I couldn't put the book down"? Strong hooks are a vital ingredient in strong writing. In this online class, which features lectures, discussion, practical exercises, and handouts, I'll teach students how to captivate readers with great openings, scene hooks, chapter cliff hangers, and intriguing back cover blurbs. Participants will master the hook in all its environments, from the query letter through the novel.

I'm looking forward to reading this one. I love Karas. Thanks for the review. You're still responsible for many, many of the picture books I end up putting on hold at the library (but I think this one is actually on its way to me from Random House -- hope I've got that right, as I'm curious to see it).
Thanks for this review. HOW MANY SEEDS IN A PUMPKIN? sounds like a great book to use across the curriculum in an elementary classroom. Like Jules, I'm a Karas fan.
