Of all the books I've read of yours, I'd have to say this one is by far my favorite!
I keep coming back too it whenever I'm stuck with what to read next. I want a Kex of my own, why is he so darn adorable? I love how you portray Bullying and instead of the usual sad and depressed main character, you have him be an incredibly strong and humble human being. (Not that sad, and depressed main characters are bad. Just over used.)

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your writing❤

Oh my gosh! I absolutely love this book! I don't have or can't think of any adjective to best describe this book so I'll just opt to grin like a fool while melting inside and sliding slowly down a wall! So good!

The content was interesting and urged you you read further. It's the key to a good read.

One thing I would warn against is using He/She to start too many sentences.

The social comment surrounding bulling was handled very well. This would definitely be recommended reading for those being bullied or those doing the bulling.

Well, I thought I’d take a peek at this and then couldn’t put it down. Hooked from the first page I think this is a brilliant coming of age story with the added twist of the main protagonist overcoming the bullies. I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed this gem of a narrative so full of vitality and I’d love to read a sequel.

Can't wait to find out more and Kex's life! I love that Kex keeps his maturity and didn't seek revenge when the opportunity presented itself!
I wish that everyone who has been a part of bullying could read KEX! :)

How can I thank you for such kind words? I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this so much, Mel! As for Kex, he seemed to write himself, so to speak - and honestly, I kinda fell in love with him myelf, lol! And to think he started "life" as letters on a license plate... Thank you so very much; I appreciate your response more than I can adequately say. 'D

I wanted to finish reading it before I gave my review. Although I knew since the first 2 pages that I was not going to be dissapointed which is why I placed it in my favorites.

First of all... I can't believe you made me fall in love with Kex so much, it's like watching a hot anime guy and wishing he was freaking real! That's mean!

Second of all... I loved loooved loved loved this book!! You have no idea! It was awesome. Your wit, the realism, the awesomeness of the character you made me love so much, was just amazing and as always with all of your work.

I enjoyed his beginnings and the end was so sweet. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Needless to say wonderful work as always.

Hugs

Meli

My poor husband. He should just make a recording of himself saying, "Okay, what are you crying about THIS time?" Thank you, Val. Your comment as ever was kind, helpful, encouraging, and yes, tear-inducing.

I just got home from a veeerrrry long day at work followed by driving my kids all over town, and dealing with a spider the size of New Jersey snarling at me on the inside of my windshield as I drove back (in semi-hysterics, I might add) on a horribly traffic-packed highway.

So this was my much-needed hug for the day - thank you.

Sarah, thank you for saving this! That means a whole lot.

You're all awesome! And now I'm off to boo-hoo (with a smile) over a hot stove...

As usual, you never fail to deliver. You put this together after seeing a car's license plate? And not just a short ten-page story, but a huge story. When I first saw how many pages (72), my heart sank. Did I really want to spend an hour reading this many pages? But, as usual, your easy way of writing, the way the story just flows, made it not only enjoyable, but I was sorry when it ended!

This is a perfect Young Adult story that the seniors (like me) can escape with. Who doesn't like the theme of the taunted and tortured kid growing up into an Amazon? The fat pre-teen becoming a Hercules! And getting sweet revenge not by being equally as cruel as his tormentors, but by being cleverer and more talented, not to mention taller and more handsome.

Again, your humor shines through and you prove the point that only a person who has the ability to research facts and also has the intelligence to create stories from experience and knowledge gathered over a lifetime, can put together a wonderful story like this.

You never cease to amaze me with these little gems - these slices of life designed to entertain us and make us feel oh so good.

What a wonderful response! Tanya, I'm going to go fix the typo right now and look for the other one - appreciate you letting me know (can't stand typos...nasty little buggers...), lol!

I'm working on the continuation of this; Kex seems to have lodged himself in my imagination and won't leave me alone until I finish his story.

Thanks again for reading this, everyone - encouragement is such a blessing! 'D
