Currently, I am a student at Eastern Michigan University where I am studying Children's Literature and Theatre for the Young. I've been lucky enough to be able to author my own comic strip, "Bleeping Bacon Bits", in the college paper, "The Eastern Echo".
I started writing quirky stories back in early elementary school, and I've continued to write them in various forms ever since. At one point I actually wanted to design video games, but then I learned the career I was pursuing was pretty much a living nightmare. Today I want nothing more than to write silly stories, make use of my strange imagination, and have fun with my friends.
I read the Viper Girl series a few years ago. To this day, it's still one of my favorite children's books of all time. I loved Cootie the Not So Oddly Named Girl Makes the Ultimate Pizza just as much as Viper Girl. It's filled with that same awesome, witty humor that I love. My favorite part of the book was Grandpa Wobble. He had me laughing constantly.
Even though this is a children's book, I think adults will enjoy it as well. I'm twenty-four, and I found myself laughing at quite a few of the jokes. I really hope Tony Saylor write more books about Cootie. I would love to see what type of crazy adventures she gets into next. I recommend this book for anyone who loves a good laugh.
