Even more news on this novel. A couple of months ago, a well-established young adult author agreed to critique it for me, and gave me one of the best critiques I've ever gotten on anything. She understood the character and her dilemmas very well, and nailed so much of what this novel needs that it really amazed me. Although I haven't started implementing changes because I'm working on my midgrade novel right now, some of the insights in the critique just blew me away, and now I finally have ideas for approaching the rewrite. So, I'm excited and hopeful about this book again!
