I received a great letter from a class recently who had thought up titles for the chapters in The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester.
I think this is such a clever idea because it gets the students thinking about the essence of the chapter, its content, and how to interest the reader without giving too much away.
They were also quite creative and humorous and captured the tone of the book.
Here is a sampling:
Chapter 3 Trouble
Chapter 4 Take That Viola! Rocket!
Chapter 6 Doofus
Chapter 9 Niggle Remover
Chapter 13 Niggle, Now Punch
Chapter 15 Won't You Die, Viola
Chapter 16 We Need a Frog Medic
Chapter 25 Mission Killing Stumps Complete
Chapter 26 Underwater Romance
Chapter 40 Oh Man, I Hate Sad Parts

These are funny! I "pre-read" your book - that's what I tell my family :) - to see if it would be right for my daughter. I loved everything about it, and it felt right at home here in SC, where I am still a relative newcomer. Congratulations!
Thank you, Tatjana! Glad you liked it. (And hope you love SC)
I Need to take a lesson on chapter titles ;-)
