Novel - “Uncanny!” by Paul Jennings


Novel - “Uncanny!” by Paul Jennings


The children’s novel “Uncanny!” written by the award winning Paul Jennings contains a small collection of nine short stories each written in a first person narrator style, with the main character as the central focus point. Paul Jennings writes these stories with a comedic style, and is about everyday feelings and fears that young children may deal with. Paul Jennings follows a basic narrative structure where he introduces the characters briefly, than the events follow that work through various problems to the climax of the story until it is resolved quickly. Each story is exaggerated by being set in extraordinary circumstances to make it more enjoyable and interesting for the reader. I believe it is aimed at young teens who may be reluctant when it comes to reading novels but due to it containing a number of short stories, it is quick and easy to read.
