Good review, Carl,

I think the strongest piece of advice was that about Becky's motivation. Kids often do get into 'shan't play' mode and refuse to come out of it regardless of logic. The key question is how do you want your readers to feel about it? Are they empathising with her or viewing her as an idiot?

Congratulations

John
