Chocky's Challenge
Mark Daniel, in the present tense again. (See BfK 41.) Why don't I find it irritating this time? Because Chocky's familiar? Because genius kids (nice with it) saving the world are familiar? That's the story, to be continued. (Chocky's temporarily out of the game.) There's an implied author: '... write fast. The general public has to know ...' Are film/TV tie-ins present tense so you can readalong-a-screening? Breakthrough to literacy?
