Okay, so after all my withering looks of reproach in the mirror, I did manage a few decent changes of the book. Will they make it better? We will see.

Why am I going through this?
*I think this book is a good one.
*I think it will find readers who agree.
*I want to be successful at long last.

If this book falls on its spine, it will be because I failed it, not because it failed.

I think out of all the books I have read recently, I have learned things to do and things not to do. I think this book helps kids look away from their world and into someone else’s and see that they might not have it so bad after all.

I guess I have to get back to shining the dull off now.
