Hi, Ava,

Thank you for posting. I approve of your ambition to become a writer.

In order to be funny, a book has to be about a funny topic. “Mythical Elements” sounds great — adventurous and exciting. It just doesn’t sound funny. But sometimes funny things happen in the relationship between your characters. The way your 4 orphan girls talk, or relate to each other might supply some humor. Dialogue is a good place to start.

Good luck! I hope to be writing you a fan letter one of these days.           —–Gordon Korman—–
