More on humor- I particularly like unabashed wit from my protags in YA/MG - their uncensored/unjaded view of the world can be awesome #mswl

YA/MG that's dark, spooky, atmospheric. Gothic and/or Southern Gothic tone. #MSWL Think CURIOUS TALE OF IN-BETWEEN amzn.to/298gox8

Smart, sharp, intelligent writing will always catch my eye, in any YA/MG genre. As will rich, lush, lyrical prose if well-controlled. #MSWL

#MSWL MG adventure. Ordinary kids placed into extraordinary circumstances, realistic or otherwise - but ideally still on this planet
