Friday Fun...

















Lisa Yee's Bodacious Book Title Contest! The contest is over but it still makes for fun reading. Rules: Think of a title of a children's or young adult book. Change one letter of one word to make a whole new title. Then write a one sentence summary of this new work.

Example: Where the Wild Things Are becomes WHERE THE MILD THINGS ARE...Max sails off to a sensibly furnished place where huge creatures listen to public radio and get caught up on their email.

GO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
After Atticus loses the big trial, he wallows in drink and depression, no longer caring what happens to the yahoos in his stupid small town.

LITTLE SOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE
Laura, Mary and Ma finally have to come to terms with Pa's drinking problem.

GREEN EGGS AND BAM!
Tell all book about the little known love affair between Sam-I-Am and Emeril Lagasse.

Check it out, some are hysterical and most are definitely twisted.
