Fiction At My Fingertips
By CS Reid
Genre: Middle Grade/Young Adult/Fiction
Publication Date: December 19, 2014
Lois is a voracious writer. To say that she is a budding
writer, would be the understatement of the millennium. Recounts about her
family vacations, ooze out the very pores of her skin before becoming
transplanted in the pages of her trusty journal.
When her language arts teacher, Ms. Williams, informs the
class that they will be participating in The Hillcrest Young Adult Golden Quill
Contest for Fiction, Lois is catapulted into the stratosphere. However, an
unfortunate mishap could derail Lois’ literary debut.
My Review
Fiction At My Fingertips is such a breath of fresh air for
young adult readers. I really enjoyed how the author focuses the entire story
around writing and the collaboration with the budding writers. We can sense the
excitement for writing through the characters and of course, a twist is tossed
into the mix that shakes up Lori, the protagonist. One of my favorite things
about this book is how the author chose to title her chapters. Each chapter
reflects a step in the writing process. A fun & unique read - I highly recommend it!
