Blog #1 ~ Initial Reaction

Authors of Young Adult Fiction need to draw their readers into the story right away.  As you begin reading the first section of your novel, describe what is going on.  You don't need to give every detail, but more of an overview for your classmates.  Describe the initial or first problem faced by the main character.

At the end of your blog, you need to pose a question that relates to your novel for your classmates.  You need to consider the fact that they haven’t read the book, so come up with a question that is simple enough yet at the same time, a question that they could possibly relate their novel, another story (fiction or non-fiction), or even their own lives to.
