Booklist - 09/15/2024 When you’re a member of the Point-of-View family, it’s important to know how to tell a story, so Bitsy sets out to create one exactly the way her sisters Prima (who tells stories in first person) and Midi (second person, of course) have taught her. Telling her story in third person with her buddy Boozle the wizard acting as the protagonist, Bitsy sets Boozle on a quest to find Happily Ever After, sending him through the town of Rising Action and up Story Mountain to Climax Peak, where he meets the Big Central Conflict. Bitsy’s directions on how to create an exciting story are cleverly delivered in the form of an exciting story. The use of a fairy-tale trope that should be familiar to most readers makes it easy for new storytellers to insert their own tales into the described format. The colorful artwork is energetic, cartoony, and approachable. A playful, smart way of teaching storytelling formats, Bitsy’s successful journey as a narrator should encourage readers to give writing a try. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
