Another chapter in my footnotes study! I read Bad Kitty by Michele Jaffe, and once again, there were footnotes! In this book, the footnotes were used to show commentary by the main character and her friends on the action of the book. For the same reason that I love commentary tracks for DVDs, I really liked this approach. It's like the characters are breaking that metaphorical fourth wall, and talking among themselves, independent of the events of the book. It's the same feeling I get when I read Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books.

I'm at the point now where I want to make the definitive article on footnotes in YA literature. I already know about E. Lockhart's The Boyfriend List (thanks, E.! I'm definitely going to read that soon), but do y'all know of any other books that use footnotes?
