There are kids who love straight nonfiction and then there are kids who need a little sprinkling of sugar to lure them into the NF fold. Love how this book does this. And I've used a similar technique in my own work.

BRILLIANT!!! THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION to pour some OOEY, GOOEY, MELTED cheese on top of our own stories in order to entice our readers. Also, I LOVE your idea of writing "I am Smoke" from the POV of Smoke itself. A TRULY creative and fun way to educate.
