Esp at the library I try to sneak in the "And it's free, so if you don't like it, just return it!" That works sometimes....<BR/><BR/>Lisa, great idea about describing the verses as "short chapters." I'm gonna try that.<BR/><BR/>Em, "fast-paced novel" is also a great line. <BR/><BR/>I will try all of these and let you know of the results... :)DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-9300983316976885852008-07-12T12:26:00.000-07:002008-07-12T12:26:00.000-07:00I like the idea of saying its a fast-paced novel a...I like the idea of saying its a fast-paced novel and not even mentioning the fact it's in verse. I think many teens are scared off by saying it's poems.Emily Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073350248209507278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-21169791663235983592008-07-11T15:34:00.000-07:002008-07-11T15:34:00.000-07:00Ellen!

I think the best thing to say would be something like, "This book is often recommended by readers who used to be non-readers." Or something similar.Ellen Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800131582682938171noreply@blogger.com
