Im planning on writing a novel tell me what you think of it, would or wouldnt you read this. If you have any tips i would like to hear them.
Jason Yorke's parents recently died in an accident by a drunk driver. He is a trouble maker and is in a gang ever since they died. His aunt and uncle come to get him to live with them because that was their last wish. So with some trouble Jason moves from connecticut to colorado to leave his whole life behind. There he gets suspended from school so they send him to his grandpa's house on a farm and there his grandpa tells him about his parents fortune which they hide from any enemies...you'll find out why they have any in the book. His parents left clues at special/important places to his parents at relative's houses around the world and he has to find out the clues and find his fortune with werid/awful events that happen at his relatives house while he finds out the secert of his family.

Being a reader and a writer I'd have to say that the "chasing around the world for fortune and glory" story has been done many times - I would suggest something that digs deeper into the nature of the family, rather than jetsetting around the globe. The parents have secrets - you don't have to be abroad to find these. Jason might trawl through journals or paper clippings, following clues around his own family estate. There is potential to unearth uncomfortable truths about his heritage - it might turn out that Jason is better suited to being a rebel or a troublemaker after learning of what his family was up to when he was a baby ...

Well, it definetly sounds interesting but it seems like I've heard the story line before. My suggestion is that instead of Jason moving from conneticut to colorado, make it sound more life changing like from the city life of New York to the country life of a small town in Texas!:) Another suggestion is that you may not want to move around so much with characters because it makes it even more confusing for the reader. VERY FANTASY LIKE!!!! I'll be looking for the book release:) Good Luck!

Hi! Yeah, it's a good story, but as someone said before, it would make an excellent book for kids... And tha'ts certainly not an insult, since it's really had to write good books for kids!!! But stay realistic, they like to think that they might actually e able to do all the things the hero does!!! Good luck

This is a great premise but only an outline. The end product will only determine if it was worth writing.
P.S. The people that just say no are CRACKED. There is no solid way to judge without detail.

If well written that sounds like a really good premise for a young teenagers book.

No, but that doesn't mean other people won't. I'm really picky about the books I read.
It sounds good for grade school kids.

It sounds interesting. Keep writing and perhaps join a writers group.

hmmm...i think the treasure-hunting aspect of the story has been done. you'd need something to set it apart from similar stories out there. but yeah, maybe i'd read it.
