Disturbing to know intellectually the “formula” for those catchy MG novels – but to look at them one at a time, and say, “Oh, yeah! AND there’s that intellectually or physically awesome female, too!” at each juncture is kind of scary.
I’m writing a teen “adventure” novel because apparently teens don’t have those, and naybe I will make a point of making the female lazy. Because that’s kind of unacceptable? And it works for me. ☺
