If this novel is well written could it find an audience? It's part reality/part fantasy. A boy is whisked away from his adopted family and goes to live with his real mother and grandparents whom he's never met (separated at birth). Since he finds his new life confusing (his real family is weird), events and people in his neighborhood are partly real but always have a magical element because he fills in the parts he doesn't understand with his imagination. Example: his hero is a high school student--the state champion high jumper. When the hero gets a beating by his father, the narrator hits the father with a rock, and the friend runs away. The neighborhood is worried, thinking he is missing, so they search for him. The narrator spots his hero standing on a rooftop. He smiles down at him & jumps. Instead of falling, he starts flying. The boy points to the sky. Everybody else sees him flying too. Why not? He's the high jump champ! P.S. The first chapter was published in a magazine.

Incredible. I would definitely read it. Keep on going, i must say it can appeal to a wide variety of people. Also it has kind of a moral lesson to it. Nice work!

Cool idea! I think that since you have already had a chapter published that you are well on your way to publishing the full novel. I mean, you already have some promotion for the completed book already. Good Luck, BTW, what's the title? I would like to read it.
