[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I picked up a Hardy Boys book recently. Percy Jackson is better. What's wrong with casual language? It's how humans speak. [/quote] I agree with this. Pick up Happy Hollisters (ick) or the Victorian era Elsie books (warning - if you think the racism in Laura is bad you haven't seen anything yet) and you'll see that poorly written children's literature has been with us since there have been novels for kids. It's just that we usually blessedly let the bad writing go out of print. Is Rick Riordan writing like E. B. White? No. Is there room for a kid to read both? Yes.[/quote]
