This humorous and quirkily illustrated 24-chapter book teaches students how to write a compelling essay or blog post, one that other people will want to read.

Each chapter introduces a concept, engages the student with entertaining examples, and provides a writing prompt and assignment. Concepts covered include: How Blogging Can Make You a Better Writer, How to Create a Blog, Grabbing Your Reader from the Beginning, Using Detail to Appeal to the Senses, Active vs. Passive Voice, Metaphors and Similes, Using Dialog, Addressing Writer's Block and more! It's a great resource for homeschool educators. "Adventures in Blogville" covers some of the same concepts as Andrews' previous book, "Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better", but is aimed at a younger audience in its examples and family-friendly language. PRAISE FOR ADVENTURES IN BLOGVILLE... "I wish there had been a book like this available for me when I was in high school. I also love the illustrations and the author's sense of humor. ”—Amber Felix, homeschool mom & blogger "Adventures in Blogville has the perfect light-hearted tone that young writers need when reading about writing—often a topic they find dull and boring, which Margaret avoids completely with her off-the-wall references and wacky illustrations. Definitely a book I would use for this age group." —Janna Marlies Maron, Adjunct Professor of English, Publisher of True Story magazine “Margaret nails some of the most important challenges young writers face and shows them how to express themselves in a concise, well-thought-out manner, while effectively engaging her audience. This book belongs in every high school student's backpack!” —Nichole Beaudry, former English Professor, Managing Editor of Savvy Sassy Moms magazine

Book excerpt: Fellow sixth graders, an alien and a human, become unlikely friends in this hilarious, fast-paced, and accessible first book in the sci-fi series Sixth-Grade Alien from the bestselling author of Aliens Ate My Homework, Bruce Coville. Sixth grade can be tough. But starting sixth grade as the only alien on the planet seems impossible. When Pleskit Meenom, the son of the first alien ambassador to earth, finds out he’s going to public school, he’s less than thrilled. Especially after what happened on their last planet. Tim Tompkins, on the other hand, couldn’t be more excited to meet a real alien—even if some of his classmates are warier of the first purple kid in their class. Tim is determined to befriend Pleskit and secretly hopes he may have finally found someone who feels as out of place as he does. But when angry mobs, cultural differences, and intergalactic plots get in the way, their friendship—and maybe even the planet—could be in danger.

After all, hasn't most of our progress as a species been largely due to somebody challenging some commonly-held assumption, like humans can never fly, or land on the moon, or….well, we you get my drift.” - John Renesch, futurist, author: Getting to the Better Future and The Great Growing Up
