Read back through what I’d written on Secret of the Wood and decided that there was just something wrong with it.  I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the flow is just off.

Decided to start it all over.  It’s more or less the same, but I’m taking out the re-intros of a couple of characters, compressing the setup of the main conflict, boosting the Earth Day connection, and getting to my main protagonist earlier.

Back to it.
