My New Favorite Middle Grade Novel

This might be an exaggeration but it definitely rates up there in the top five

Candy Shop War 2:

The Arcade Catastrophe

I read this book to my children and we all just loved it.

I caught myself grinning from ear to ear and thinking "That would be SOOOO cool!"

Just like Brandon always says that he is just trying to make his inner 10 year old happy, well my inner 10 year old was high-fiving my inner 11 year old. That book was rad! My actual 10 year old was squealing and laughing. My kids now play in the backyard and pretend they have various 'stamps' that give them powers.

If you like to read fun Middle Grade books READ IT!

The Candy Shop War, Book 2: Arcade Catastrophe

(Disclaimer: Many of you know that I am good friends with Brandon Mull but Brandon didn't give me the ARC nor tell me that he needed any sort of endorsement. I just read the book. Loved the book. Wanted to share my love for the book with the world. THE WORLD, I SAY!!!!)

Everything You Never Wanted to Know

Have you ever wondered, "Is there more to Shelly than she's telling us? She's so quiet and always holding back her real feelings on things?"

Well, then I must say that you don't know me very well.

BUT

Today is your lucky day!!!

You can read an interview with me over on Angela Cothran's blog Live to Write...Edit when Necessary and find out all the juicy details that I refuse to put on my own blog. (Like how often I get told that I look like Angelina Jolie, etc)

Welcome to Writing with Shelly and Chad

WAIT A MINUTE!

What happened to

?????????

Well, Shelly liked blogging too much and her writing was suffering so she went in quest of a partner. Fortunately, the partner that she chose *cough*cough*like-I'd-tell-you-the-real-number* of years ago was willing to rise to the occasion.

Fortunately for everyone this guy can write.

Better than I can.

And that is the last time you will ever see me say that.

Introducing: Chad Morris

Chad actually writes for a living.

He's a pseudo-theologian ;)

Chad writes sketches for our comedy troupe.

SOMETIMES he actually gets paid to do that, too,

but we don't hold our breath.

In his spare time he writes Middle Grade Fiction.

SO

You'll get Shelly (Hot Guys in Doublets, Shelly's Therapy Hour, etc.)

Tuesdays and Fridays

and Chad (whatever the heck this guy writes about...which will not involve doublets, or hot guys.)

Mondays and Thursdays

It'll be FUN-tastic!!!
