Topic #15: What’s the next big thing in YA?
Kick-ass females who secretly work for secret agencies.
And I’m not saying that because of my current WIP. No, seriously.
Or more action-adventure stories featuring all-female team members. Like that one book about the 4 African-American baby girls who were abandoned (not intentionally) by their parents in Beijing, China where they were found by a Shaolin monk. Who took them to an orphanage and went to visit them everyday because the nuns said they cried nonstop until he came to see them. Then, when they turned 4 yrs old, he brought them to the Shaolin Temple and trained them to be warriors of the Temple. Before they were sent Stateside at 15 to go to school.
You’ve never heard of that story?
Me, neither, but it sounded great, didn’t it? Hah!
Hmmm…I think I might’ve just come up with something…
