Really nice pace and rhythm and good consistency in voice and level. The dialogue is natural and flows well. Really liked the characterization throughout -Candy Ball was great (love the name) and I loved how you showed (not told) Mum's sense of loss through a very touching scene when she set an extra place at the table. A nice sense of intrigue building about the mystical i-pad and the Holiday Snatcher - two great competing and complimentary plots! 6 stars highly recommended...-I liked your story and it is written in an easy to understand and accessible style. I think this will appeal to 8 plus year olds. The characters are becoming nicely developed. ... I like the endings of your chapters, leaving the reader guessing what is about to happen. Great.
