Reviewer: Ottava Rima (talk) 03:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to pass this article, as it was a good read and but I saw a few problems.
(Not one of the problems) The synopsis probably outweighs the rest, but this is for GA (not FA) and it probably does not have as much coverage as would be optimal to make it less plot heavy. Regardless, the lead should be merged to one paragraph because of the small size of the article.
(One of the problems) You rely on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and some other sources that do not have reliable source reviews. You should try to find some kind of news based reviews, magazines, etc. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc, have consumer reviews and are not reliable.
If you just remove the unreliable reviews and substitute in some reliable ones (School Library Journal appears reliable and I could accept "The Trades" as reliable). I'm just leaving this note here and I won't put the article on hold. If another reviewer doesn't have a problem, they can feel free to pass it. If you work on it and follow with my suggestion (remove the consumer website reviews and put in more standard ones) then I will pass this. Cheers.

Alrighty. First, thanks for reading it - glad you liked it. :) After several hours googling (-_-), I managed to track down the original locations of the reviews I was resting on, hopefully improving the reliability of them. VOYA is a print magazine that is regularly referenced by publishers and booksellers, so I think that will do, and Children's Literature is basically a book database thing, which reviews lots of books, that is used by libraries and schools. Those are in addition to the two you said above were probably alright.

I thought I'd leave one or two of the references to the consumer sites are useful collations of the reviews - they can be checked if you choose to purchase a subscription to teh relevant magazines - but I can remove them altogether if that would be better.

I made a few minor fixes - you do not need to cite everything in the lead if it is cited below. You might want to create a background section to talk about publication details and the creation of the series as a whole - one or two paragraphs would be fine. I will pass this as GA, as it seems to meet the bare threshold right now. If there is any further questions, I can be contacted directly. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! I shall look into writing a bit of background. Ale_Jrb ^talk 10:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
