This is a book written from a ten year old's perspective for children about the same age. The book is complete so I will be postig a chapter a day, the chapters are short.

I have an agent for this book and I'm on my final edit before he submits it to a publisher. Any help is welcome. Even chapter jumpers are welcome if you comment on grammar, especially commas and verb tense, and whether the overall writing style hooks you. Also, if chapter jumpers could comment specifically on what I can do to make it more engaging, that would be greatly appreciated.
Please note: You never find out the main character's name. Not until book three anyway.Chapters: |
