How To Write A Novel (a novel)
Melanie Sumner
Aristotle "Aris" Thibodeau is 12.5 years old and destined for greatness. Ever since her father’s death, however, she’s been stuck in the small town of Kanuga, Georgia, where she has to manage her mother Diane’s floundering love life and dubious commitment to her job as an English professor. Not to mention co-parenting a little brother who hogs all the therapy money.  Luckily, Aris has a plan. Following the advice laid out in Write a Novel in Thirty Days! she sets out to pen a bestseller using her charmingly dysfunctional family as material. If the Mom-character, Diane, would ditch online dating and accept that the perfect man is clearly the handyman/nanny-character, Penn MacGuffin, Aris would have the essential romance for her plot (and a father in her real life). But when a random accident uncovers a dark part of Thibodeau family history, Aris is forced to confront the fact that sometimes in life—as in great literature—things might not work out exactly as planned.

In "How to Write a Novel," Aristotle "Aris" Thibodeau lives with her mom and little brother. Her father died when she was really little and she misses him every day. Her brother tries to hurt himself quite frequently and so he has to get therapy, which costs a lot of money. Because of this, her family does not have a lot of money, so Ares decides that she is going to write a novel in 30 days, make a ton of money, and get her family back on its feet.
