A review by pandacat42
Project Alpha by D.J. MacHale
(I am reviewing an advanced copy of this work)
I would have liked
a. The story to be more believable
>The quest for a power source isn't very believable
b. To not feel like I'm ping-ponging from character to character
>Focus the perspective on the point of view of two characters between scenes, preferably Anna and Dash.
c. A little more description in some of the scenes
>Though, this can be a double-edged sword when wanting to keep the story shorter for elementary readers.
I felt like Anna and Dash are really the focal characters. Anna has a lot of potential for growth, given she needs to learn some sympathetic personality traits. I think the story is set up for Dash and Anna to have to depend on each other at some point because they are such opposite personalities.
