Top Ten Tuesday: Secondary Characters Whose Story I Want To Know
I switched up this theme just a bit because I would love to read the stories listed below from the perspective of secondary characters! I find that so interesting! Oftentimes, authors already have this information pulled together as they write because they need to know where their characters came from and where their focus lies. Each of these characters intrigued me to learn more about them. I find it more difficult to find secondary characters I want to know more about in middle grade fiction as the story is more fully focused on the main character. And because it’s for a younger audience, the family often plays a major role. Whereas with YA fiction, you see characters spending a lot more time with friends, enemies, and everyone in between. It’s here where I often find characters I want to learn more about!
