Perfected the Teenage Voice
So, one of the biggest issues I have with most YA novels is the first person narration often reads as too adult or too juvenile. I'm a high school teacher; I know how teenagers talk, and it can be very distracting when the voice is oh so wrong.
That said, this first look positively nails what a teenaged boy would sound like. Already I've totally connected with Devon, and I'm ready to know his story. Great job! Can't wait to read more.
