Great characters and buildup, tapping into how crappy kids are to each other and fears of critters. I wasn't too crazy about half the story centering on Katarina and half on Brendan, and there were a few typos, such as 'breath' where 'breathe' was intended. I think a leaner, 3500-word version would do the trick more effectively, but overall I enjoyed reading it--most importantly, I finished!
