Major Character is fourteen years old. The book is about 90 kindle pages and somewhere around 16k words. There are ten chapters with illustrations.
I've tried quite a few categories but it is so hard to find on a search.
Do I want it to be children's fantasy, fiction or MG.
Not a sales pitch. Just asking for assistance. Sure the link is there. Maybe the 'Book Description' will give you what you need to help me out.
Meet Minchu, a curious fourteen year old lad from the town of Wibbley. Join him on his magical journey in search for the truth about his town’s past. Have fun with Minchu as he encounters many offbeat characters along the way who amusingly guide him to the mysterious Mt Kadooble. Why Kadooble? That's where he can find the B’Glug, a seemingly dreadful creature that brought fear to the streets of Wibbley for countless generations past. Is there a connection between the B’Glug and thirteen-o-clock, a time that only exists in Wibbley? Let’s meet at the clock tower in Towne Square to discover ‘Why Time Was Changed In Wibbley’.
I'm confused by the title Kids or MG?, which makes it sound like the two are mutually exclusive. Recently noticed another poster saying something similar--along the lines of not wanting to write for kids, but being willing to write for middle grade.
Just to be clear, MG stands for middle grade, which is targeted toward children 8 - 12 years old. In the US, this means 3rd through 6th grade. Students in elementary and the first year of middle school are most definitely still kids.
Check out Killdeer's link to literaticat's blog; it is a great summary of word count requirements. And, folks, read the stickies and previously asked questions. All of this has been covered, and is available for your perusal.
And READ. Go to the library and check out a tall stack of middle grade books. Read them... and repeat. Think about how your story compares to these books. Does it seem like a good fit? If not, you have an idea what is needed in revision.
