“What a fantastically fun way to learn about writing a
story!” — Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York
Times bestselling author
“[A] fantastic, step-by-step guide with prompts, ideas,
definitions, and forms for aspiring Edgar winners. West's tale,
decorated with Aly's eerie, cartoon art, is well worth reading on
its own—the writing manual takes it to a whole other level."—Kirkus
Reviews, starred review
Praise for Stuck in the Stone Age:
STARRED REVIEW "Sarcastic, funny, and entertaining...short (and
also funny) instructional lessons on character creation, story
setting, plot twists, climax building, and story endings are
pitched to pique interest and get the creative juices flowing.
Aly's cartoon illustrations will add a giggle or two or three. A
must for young writers (even those not interested in sci-fi) and a
fab, fun writing manual for writing teachers everywhere."
—Kirkus Reviews
STARRED REVIEW "This two-for-one tale is as smart as it is
entertaining."
—Publishers Weekly
