My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.
THE STORY
Little 9 year old Frankie is trying to be scary for Halloween and gets some tips from Dan, his brother.
WHAT I LIKED
That was a suspenseful, scary kinda ending. Dan kinda had it coming to him.
POV NARRATION/TENSE
This is told in the 3rd person omnisicent. Past tense is used in the story.
DIALOGUE
The dialogue drives the narration. It's not easy for a 9 year old to come up with a costume worthy of Halloween.
OPENING
The opening sets the stage for what to expect. Can Frankie scare Dan? It might take a lot to get there...
CHARACTERS
Frankie is a sweet kid who tries hard to capture the spirt of Halloween. I'm glad his parents were able to help.
FLOW & PACING
The opening set up the problem and end wasn't for everyone. Well done.
MECHANICS
I did not notice and spelling/punctuation mistakes. My only suggestion here, and it's minor and a matter of style - maybe increase the font a little to make it easier on the eyes.
PARTING THOUGHTS
The title fits the story and will keep the reader on the edge of their seat with anticipation.
