There's a particular literary style where a book will come off as weirdly disjointed because it reads like someone just wrote the "best parts" of a novel and didn't bother with the rest of it – all wham scenes with no connective tissue stringing them together; all emotional payoffs with no character-driven setup to earn them. Sometimes folks talk about this style as "fanfic with the serial numbers filed off", and while I don't deny that a lot of fanfic – perhaps even most fanfic – adheres to this model, any time someone argues that it originated in fanfic all I can think is "clearly this person has never read A Wrinkle In Time".

Finally!!!
So complex, this hunt. But it's worth knowing at last who the artist was. :) (Via Michael Whelan on Twitter, who helped in the search...)

Poll one has been complete and the winner is The Lightning Thief! The winner of this poll will face off against the previous winner to declare the true winner and best opening line.
And again, if you feel I've forgotten a particularly good quote, feel free to suggest.
Please reblog to break containment 💙📚
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Stubbs and he almost deserved it.
Rebecca: Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again.
The Dark Tower: The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
A Wrinkle in Time: It was a dark and stormy night.
The Book Thief: Here is a small fact: you are going to die.
The Outsiders: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.
The Princess Bride: This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
The Night Circus: The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
Anna Karenina: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
The Fellowship of the Ring: When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventyifirst birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
Frankenstein: You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings

Welcome to the Bracket of Childhood Books!
Hello! Welcome to the Best Childhood Book bracket, reminiscent of many going around on Tumblr right now, that will decide what this userbase thinks is the best childhood book.
Since we need some clarification, the definition of childhood book in this competition is as follows: a book people read in childhood that must be for a YA age group or younger and has chapters. I developed this definition to keep it as open as possible while making sure picture and adult books were excluded. There are a lot of books that skirt the line between middle grade and young adult, so I figured it best to play it safe and include all YA books, especially for those of us who read at a much higher level. There is a difference between “children’s” book and “childhood” book. ANY book that met those requirements could be submitted, as I am striving to keep my personal opinion out of this competition for the most part. This definition will not change for the foreseeable future.
This masterpost will be updated with links to all the polls regularly, and each poll will last 7 days. If you vote, reblog if you can so more people can vote, and feel free to campaign for your personal favorite if you want!
SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED FOR CHILDHOOD BOOKS (320/320)
SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED FOR CHILDHOOD WORLDS (192/192)
SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN FOR FANTASY BOOKS (137/320)
Submissions are currently open for fantasy novels. Please submit with the name of the book and the author. Check the lists to see if anything has been submitted before trying yourself. If a book is part of a series, it will be listed under the series name (i.e. The Lightning Thief > Percy Jackson and the Olympians or The Golden Compass > His Dark Materials). You can find the current list of childhood books here. A world will be listed with its series, and you can find the current list of worlds here. You can find the current list of fantasy books here.
Poll links and rules under the cut
Help decide parameters for submissions with some fringe cases: recently published YA, adult books lots of children/teens read, retelling worlds
First Competition (here)
Second Competition (here)
Third Competition (here)
Fourth Competition (here)
Rules/Guidelines
Submissions for Childhood Books
Must be a middle grade or young adult book
Must have chapters
Must be able to be found on Goodreads
Submissions for Childhood Worlds
Must be the setting of a middle grade or young adult book.
Must be either a whole other world (i.e. Narnia, Panem), a setting largely separate from our own world (i.e. Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood), or a specific setting within our own world that is invented for the purpose of that book (i.e. 221B Baker Street, Ferryport Landing)
Main characters have to have visited this place
Cannot be somewhere that already exists in our world outside that book
Submissions for Fantasy Books
Must be listed as 'fantasy' or some fantasy subgenre within the first three genres on Goodreads or Storygraph
Must be able to be found on Goodreads
Must have chapters but can otherwise be for any age range
Polls
Be respectful (no hate, no harassment, I will block you)
I'm totally okay with spam reblogs; if you want to subject your followers to seventeen copies of a poll, you do you
If you're trying to get my attention about something, @ me or submit an ask, there's no guarantee I'll see all the reblogs
Propaganda
Submit it to me as an ask; I won't be reblogging personal posts or reblogs of the polls
Promote the book you're supporting; it's okay to poke fun at the other books, but please don't attack them or the authors
Only ONE (1) propaganda post per user per book. I really don't want to clog people's dashes with sixty posts about voting for a single book
Asks
Be respectful, not just to me but to all the people who will end up seeing that ask when I post it
If you're asking about a poll or a rule or anything else, please check and see if it's in this post or elsewhere
Try to keep things focused on the competition/books

A cover mystery
Who’s the artist on this iconic Madeleine L’Engle cover? So far, attempts to track them down have been unsuccessful.
It’s the 1976 Dell Lauref-Leaf edition. (Which is where this becomes of interest to me, because the first three Young Wizards books also appeared as Dell Laurel-Leaf editions in the years that followed.)
Tumblr media
…I’m now wondering if whatever editor was working with L’Engle at Dell at that point is still alive to ask: they would certainly have known who was commissioned to do the cover. The only problem with digging that far back in publishing time is that Dell itself is now long gone. A string of corporate mergers mean that whatever remains of it has been subsumed into the depths of Penguin Random House.
It’ll be fascinating to see if anyone can find an answer to this…

being a middle school teacher has really changed my perception of middle grade/YA stories...i see my students and they are so Tiny i can't imagine them going on quests to save the world. the characters seemed cool when i was their age but now i just see them as kids and want to protect them :(
