Is an Introduction and a Prologue good or bad, especially in middle grade fiction?
Is it bad to use an Introduction and/or a Prologue in Middle Grade Fiction? I have a lot of information that is useful, but the information in dialogue will sound fake and way too much info-dump like.
I liked the way Jurassic Park does it. Has an introduction with the fake backstory and history over the years, and then the prologue for the present story.
Is this a bad thing for this age group, as long as I don't drone on too long? It's historical, and I've got to have something to bring the reader up to speed. OTOH, I worry because the story doesn't start off with something exploding or having a vampire, so the reader doesn't care.
I have seen most of this,
I mainly want to know about children/middle grade/young adult.
