Great trailer! I like how, as you said, you got real teenagers to play the parts of teenagers. I think it's so crazy that that's a rare thing nowadays. They did a great job. I'll be looking for this book when it comes out, and your other books soon. I've been hearing a lot about The Marbury Lens and it seems like something different than what I usually read, but still something I'd enjoy. And I've been meaning to branch out anyway. It seems like a good place to start.
That was superb. Two things really stuck out - the authenticity and understated strength and compassion of the narration, and the music, which swelled and tugged on the emotions as if it were straight from John Barry.
Imagine my surprise to read they were both by James Marino. You found some serious talent.
The piano part of the song is amazing. Well, the song is, too, but I happen to be a freak about piano. You'd think nine approaching ten years of piano lessons would turn me off it, but, no.
Anyway, a hand of applause and a platter of cookies to the makers.
The whole thing is just awesome, but the best part for me was how the voiceover and the music worked so well together. (I really want to use exclamation marks, but I think you don't like them. I will hold back, though it's a real sacrifice.)
Beautiful. The guy (James?) who did the voiceover... what an amazing job he did.

Awesome.
Great work, people! I loved the black and white, I loved the song, and I especially loved the still photos.
I also think I saw this old guy I know at one point.
I'm off to read about these kids.
Nobody wants to play bad guys nowadays.
Wow.

That was really awesome. Thanks for making me cry at school. I can't wait to read Stick. If there's a vote, mine is for John to do the book audio.

......Great work! Seriously NOT liking the fact of having to wait till October to read it though! That's a long time away!
Looks fantastic. Thanks for posting it.
Fantastic trailer! It was definitely worth the wait, but now I want the book. Can't wait until the Fall.
Oops James not John.
That was literally the only book trailer I've ever liked.
