"I liked it, but something about this book missed the mark for me. I'd have to say it's a great book for aspiring authors who don't yet know much about writing or publishing.
Covers the basics of characters, voice, and plot; how to overcome doubt, get past lack of time or inspiration, and accept constructive criticism; advice on submitting a manuscript and getting published. It's short, friendly, readable and concise but very elementary. Also has nearly 100 pages of Q&A with successful children/teen/young adult authors.
