Ok this is *fascinating* because I write for kids and something that has become extremely popular recently in the world of middle grade lit is the novel in verse which is exactly this. Short lines, lots of white space, turn pages quicker. So interesting to know that it isn't just kids that are struggling to read long blocks of text, it's Hollywood executives, too.
Two really popular novels in verse these days are Starfish and Louder Than Hunger. I also put out a novel in verse a while ago called Emmy in the Key of Code that is sort of in the same vein.

Ooh interesting! What's an example of a popular middle grade book you read recently that does this?

I don't think I had heard that term "novel in verse" before ... thanks for teaching me something new!
