The Adventures and Misadventures Middle Grade Spotlights Jennifer Mann and Melanie Crowder

For the next several days, I will be highlighting the amazing authors on The Adventures and Misadventures Middle Grade Tour.  Today I feature - Jennifer Mann....


My question for all the authors:
A fictionalized character of you (as a middle grader) will be the main character in a book.  What author would write the book and what would it be about?

Jennifer answered: I would have Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking) write my story and it would be an adventure in space! I would like to be saving several worlds, ours and a couple of others. I don't need a love interest but would really want an alien best friend.

Next up is Melanie Crowder....


My question for all the authors:
A fictionalized character of you (as a middle grader) will be the main character in a book.  What author would write the book and what would it be about?

Melanie answered: Beverly Cleary would write about middle grade me. It would be a heartwarming story about a girl trying to step out of the shadow of her brilliant older sister, and making a hilarious mess of it along the way.
