Which books are told in the most interesting / creative/ mind bending ways? How does it add to the book overall?

My all time favourite is Ella Minnow Pea where the book is a series of letters. The characters have to think of more inventive ways to write their letters as an increasing number of letters are outlawed as the book progresses.

Honourable mentions include:

Maribou Stork Nightmares where the narrator is trying to suppress his dark past by allowing himself to slip into hallucinations of a whacky south African safari adventure.

Flowers for Algernon where the narrator becomes more articulate by taking part in a scientific experiment.

    Super long time since I read it, but there was a kids book I read that was all dialogue (excellent for the audiobook). It was about a kid in the 40s/50s who loved listening to the Lone Ranger and other radio shows. It translated perfectly for audiobooks

    I think it was “Who was that masked man anyway?” By Avi. He has a lot of unique kids books iirc
