This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

First of all, it's a kids book.

Second of all, it's a poorly written kids book.

Eh, I think it's pretty well-written. It hits all the important parts of a good kids novel series:

  • fun to read
  • few immediately obvious plot holes (that a 10yo would notice)
  • easy for a child to imagine that they're in that world

We need more series like Harry Potter with high engagement that also promote creativity.
