Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.What supporting character from a YA book would you most like to see star in their own novel?
I am one of those readers who tends to buy into the story through the main character. I'm pretty loyal. For example, following on from last weeks post I love the book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and the rest of the series so I was thrilled when the series starring Bean (a support character) came out. BUT reading them I felt kinda guilty. These stories painted Ender in a different light, not bad really, just different. And I didn't like it. As the series moved from Ender I liked them more but couldn't fall for them the same way I did Ender's stories.
So I didn't have a million ideas for any supporting characters to get there own stories.
However, I do have a real soft spot for Hermione.
What about you, any supporting characters you'd like to get their own starring role?
I never thought of Hermione, but that would make a great series! Should we start a petition to JK? ;)
ReplyDeleteI like your thinking Christine!
ReplyDeleteOk, I think I just had a mini spasm thinking about if Ron's story and Hermione's story were written as two interconnected series to Harry Potter, know what I'm saying?
ReplyDelete*drool* Great choice :D
That's a good point. I'd love to have an entire Shiver novel from Cole's POV. We could learn more about his life as a rock star and actually "see" when Beck gives him the choice to become a wolf.
ReplyDeleteOMG I want a Hermione book too! PLEASE J-K Rowling write a Hermione book :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Hermione. She so needs her own book(s). Great choice!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you about Bean's story - it didn't really work for me either. But do love Hermione (and Neville).
ReplyDeleteHermione is one of my favorites! She was one of my picks, too :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I'd love to read more of Hermione, esp her and Ron's love story.
ReplyDeleteI considered Ender's Game for a second, but I was afraid that it would ruin the story for me. A Hermione story would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI think one reason so many of us think immediately of JK's world is that the world is so clearly there, waiting just behind the curtain, for her to lift it and show us. We know that all of Hermione's story is waiting to be told, and Ron's, and Malfoy's and Snape's. It's beyond tantalizing to be denied it!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great book! I hope JKR reads your blog and takes a hint. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... the thought of JKR reading my blog makes me feel all fan girl. Don't think I need to worry about it happening.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Seems like a general YAY to this idea. She should write a series with Hermione, looks like I wouldn't be the only one buying it!
