Well this certainly is a creative way to write books!! Kate Klise writes each book in the"Regarding the..." series in letters, newspaper articles, faxes, etc. I think this is such a great way to make your story stand out in the large world of reading. This is series of five includes: Regarding the Fountain, Regarding the Sink, Regarding the Trees, Regarding the Bathroom, and Regarding the Bees. Now the titles may make it seem like she is trying too hard to make the series last, but each of these books bursts with creativity and new ideas. I would recommend these stories to any tween, boy or girl. Regarding the Fountain is about a school in Dry Creek, MN that is in desperate need of a new drinking fountain for their school, seeing that it leaks. In an attempt to get a new water fountain the principal, Wally Russ, contacts a zany fountain designer. In this crazy story, the children of Mr. Sam N.'s fifth grade class get to know Ms. Florence Waters as she designers a magnificent water fountain for the Dry Creek Middle School. I hope that this inspires you to dive head-over-heels into to this series by Kate Klise.
If you say each name quickly without spacing between the first and last names it sounds like a real word. Like Sam N. sounds like salmon.
