1. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
2. The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney
3. The Puzzling World of Winston Breen
4. The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush
5. The Very Ordered Existence of Merilee Marvelous
6. The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp
7. The Invisible Rules of the Zoe Lama
8. The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney
9. The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio
10. The Virtual Life of Lexie Diamond
11. The Secret History of Tom Truehart
12. The Amazing Flight of Darius Frobisher
13. The Loud Silence of Francine Green
14. The Marvelous Misadventures of Fun-Boy
15. The Secret Blog of Raisin Rodriguez

I love this stuff. Be sure to visit Chellman’s blog to see her funny suggestions for classics retitled according to this formula. I suppose if I were to retitle the book I just finished reading, it would be The Prickly Ruminations of Paul Theroux.

(Thanks, Dan!)
