I'm loving this narrator already! (And if people say that the word choices are not MG, I beg to differ. Just think of the verbal fireworks of Lemony Snicket.)<br /><br />The "witch, or I'm a bull toad," line is brilliant. I'd definitely read on.<br /><br />Good luck tomorrow.

It's giving great Fablehaven vibes.

Lots of great details. <br /><br />No real criticisms (except for the sighing thing, which has already been covered ;)) but I am wondering if this book is set in modern day. I know it's a fantasy and you'll be off to another realm soon, but this page had an old-fashioned feel to it. Maybe give us some hint of what decade we're in (eg: if it is modern day, say something about how Izzy is shocked they have cell reception out here). <br /><br />Great job!! Tessanoreply@blogger.com
