In this seventh installment of the New York Times–bestselling series ‘Bad Kitty Drawn to Trouble by Nick Bruel‘ , Kitty encounters what may be her most formidable foe yet: her creator! Kitty soon learns that feline manipulation works both ways—especially when you’re at the wrong end of your author’s pencil. Along the way, Nick shows kids how a book is created, despite the frequent interruptions from you-know-who.
This is one in a series of books. The main character is Bad Kitty; a grouchy, uninterested and uncooperative cat. The book explains about books, parts of books and how they are written. The author, Nick Bruel, explains it in text and picture with kid-oriented humour.
Nick Bruel is the author and artist. The book is filled with illustrations throughout. In various chapters things such as author, character, conflict, antagonist, and plot points are explained. Done in a humourous way, it strives to not just explain writing but to encourage kids to write stories that are their own.
It is a fun read and I think adults can learn from this as well as kids. It takes a topic that could be dry and boring and makes it funny and interesting.
