What is a Twapter Book?

As you know, the Melvin Beederman books run a little older than the typical chapter books, which turns out to be a good thing for those readers in fourth and fifth grade who aren't ready for full-length novels yet but have moved beyond The Magic Treehouse type of book.

This got me thinking (yes, I do occassionally think)...you know how they have middle grade novels and teen novels and in between they have tween books?  It seems to me that there should be a transitionary genre between middle grade and chapter books for those struggling older readers.  I call them twapter books.

So don't you dare call me a chapter book writer.  I'm a twapter book writer and proud of it!   Greg

Mr. Trine's presentation to my son's class combined humor, inspiration, and a heart-felt reader's ethic. The kids were mesmerized.
