    Hi Karen,

    I really liked the irreverent style of your pitch video—the pop-up video style comments made me laugh a lot :) My favourite parts were the creepy, extreme close-ups... "OR SO SHE SAYS!!!" and "FOREVER!!", lol, very spooky. And overall, your pitch was very focused on just the three most important characters, which really helped me follow along. It sounds like an exciting journey!

    Poor Grandma. I remember seeing this story before, but I still don't know what happened to her!

    You're super passionate about your story, and it shows. Good job!

    Great conflict--trying to find a missing grandmother is always a tough problem for a kid. Good work!

    I really liked this premise and was very close to choosing it, but I could only choose 10. I love your personality in this video. Check on the word count for Upper MG. 75K is kind of high in my opinion. Keep pitching and get ready for Trick or Treat with an agent coming Oct. 24.
