My wife just got online screamed at by some lunatic for simply asking if other readers found the early pages of a certain book to be disjointed, & did anyone push through and find that it gets better. Book community keeps getting weirder. The readers, the authors: all going nuts.

Agents and publishers also don't read everything they accept. Decisions are made on nontext factors. And this is the result.

This is an enchanting and beautifully told story that children will love. What is so impressive about The Absolutely Amazing Adventures of Ava Applesawse by Roy L. Pickering Jr. is the economy of style with which the story is written. pic.twitter.com/NdAllMnr8x
