Oct. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Independent author PV Lundqvist has reached the Top 100 in children's books at Amazon's Kindle store -- a rare achievement for an author not affiliated with one of the big publishing companies.  Lundqvist's book, Not Just for Breakfast Anymore, was also ranked #1 on Amazon for children's books about pets in both print and ebooks.

Not Just For Breakfast Anymore is a middle grade novel about a boy who gets a pet pig for his birthday -- a surprise that threatens to get his family kicked out of town.  The story is about dealing with bullies, on and off the sports field, and  about a son learning to appreciate both his parents.

Asked for his response, PV Lundqvist said he was "stunned  and a bit overwhelmed."  At one point, the book climbed as high as #1356 on the biggest seller list at the Kindle store.

The Top 100 list in children's ebooks tends to be dominated by either public domain re-issues or series from one of the big six publishing conglomerates.  PV Lundqvist pointed out that children's publishing does not yet have a lot of independent authors but is becoming more open to them.
