Title: Wildly imaginative; in need of editing
Review: There's enough imaginative riffs in this slim volume to fill a dozen books. Not only is author Whitewolf chock to the brim with creative concepts and fun, he's a competent storyteller and has a firm grasp of plot, pacing, and other narrative tricks essential to good stories.The book does suffer though from a lack of strong editing. Aside from cramming way too much into one book, there are numerous unforgiveable grammatical errors (most noticeably "it's/its" confusion) and the short, choppy sentences and minimal paragraphing are annoying and distracting to the reader. When writing for young people, attention to such details is even more vital.I'd loved to see what a talented editor might do with this talented author.
