Are you an agent, editor, or
publisher looking for something to publish? You've come to the right place.
--I would say these stories are written,
but when is a writer truly finished revising? ...when a story is published, of course... and sometimes,
even not then Sticky and Slipper Fingers Meet the Wild Beast: by Jennifer Jiang and Michael Pisias
Sticky and Slippery Fingers
Meet the Wild Beast is the first manuscript in a chapter book series that revolves around ten-year-old twin brothers
who love science. While Sticky has a passion for chemistry, particularly the chemistry of anything sticky,
Slippery loves inventing gadgets with grease-covered gears and other moving parts. In each of the six manuscripts we
have written for this series so far, the two brothers combine their talents to achieve a goal and/or overcome a problem.
Of course, things don’t always go as planned. In Sticky and Slippery Fingers Meet the Wild Beast,
Slippery is building a go-kart, while Sticky is inventing axle grease. All is almost well
until a fluffy black kitten sneaks into the house, ends up under a bowl of goo, gets mistaken for a skunk, and all manner
of chaos ensues until the boys create an invention to capture the skunk/kitten, clean up the mess, and win the go-kart race.
