Just think of your personalized novel on the bookshelf or coffee table with your heroine and/or hero's name highlighted in big bold letters. Additionally, if you choose to have a photo added to the back cover for paperbacks and hardcover editions, the names selected will also be included on the back cover. With eBook editions the names will appear under the photo displayed on the second page of the book.

Note: all names will be taken from the top sections of the Character Questionnaire.

The star of Coaster Mania tests a new video game based on the science of roller coasters. When mysteriously transported physically into the game, he or she demonstrates clever thinking, loyalty, tenacity and a certain amount of bravery to save a special pet and get home again safely. The adventure is further complicated by amusement park workers who mistakenly pursue the main character and friend as thieves. The pair also test ideas about roller coaster mechanics using the video game along with foam tubes and marbles.

When entering the main character's name, include the most commonly used version, for example, Mike for Michael or Nan for Nancy. Feel free to use a nickname.

Descriptions of hair color, length and type as well as eye color are included within the text of the book - so select the basic description that best suits the person you have picked to be the main character. If you are not sure of a feature, don't worry... pick one - it's a fantasy.

The special steadfast friend joins the main character to solve the mystery of how to escape the video game, save the special pet and evade the hostile amusement park workers. As the pair works together this character supports and works as a partner and true friend, exhibiting loyalty, trust, bravery and humor.

Suggestions for the 'friend' character would be a close friend or neighbor, a brother or sister, a cousin, classmate, or even a TV character! If you can't think of a name for the 'friend' character in the book (or there are too many to select from) relax - choose a favorite cartoon, movie or television character or make one up.

Choose the commonly used first name for the person you have selected. For instance - use Bob instead of Robert if he is usually called 'Bob'.

Descriptions of the friend's hair and eye color aren't used often within the story, so don't worry if you can't remember or don't know. Sometimes it's fun to make it up - for added fun include 'spiky red hair'!

The adult in Coaster Mania provides guidance and support to the two principal characters. A loving relationship of encouragement helps the two children be confident in their efforts as the adult guides the children at times.

The adult character plays a relatively minor role compared to the kids who are our main characters.

This character could be a relative of the 'Main Character' such as Mom, Dad, Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle or an adult friend. You can also include combinations of names such as 'Uncle Tim' or 'Granny Sue'.

If the book is being given as a gift by an adult, the 'adult character' is an ideal place to put the gift-giver's name.

If you can't think of an 'adult' or don't wish to put your name in the book, think about selecting a cartoon, movie or television character.
