Summary:Harper Southwood thinks she is a changeling, switched at birth and dropped into a human family so her troll family could raise an attractive child. She is, of course, not really a troll--she's a teenager. She fits in nowhere, not with her beautiful family or her beautiful best friend or on this planet at all, as far as she's concerned. She has one power, or sense, which involves an awareness of when people are getting sick, but she can't sense that her mother has an extremely serious illness or her best friend suffers from a serious depression. It takes Harper dealing head on with the things she can't sense and learning to MAKE sense of them before she can renounce her trollhood and find her place in humanity.
I'd like feedback about how successful I am in portraying the voice of Harper and other characters, as well as how the pacing is working--are enough things happening and enough questions remaining unanswered as you go to build suspense as to what is going to happen next? Chapters: |
