At least for the querying stage. <BR/><BR/>Who knows what title it'll have as a finished book, but you don't want anything confusing in your query, because anything that will hurt your chances is something to avoid.Jamie Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02837779496794456059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-74469080432154858542008-03-23T15:05:00.000-04:002008-03-23T15:05:00.000-04:00Thanks Sarah, the title change was the one thing I...Thanks Sarah, the title change was the one thing I was really sweating. Isn't it mind-plaguing to know that these few words can determine the fate of the rest?<BR/><BR/>Also, both you and Evil Editor's comments made me clue in that my query makes doesn't make it clear that Zack will turn out to be the 'Green'. And yes, Van is the shortened nickname ;).<BR/><BR/>Great Guess-the-Plots! Two of them made me spit out my Diet Coke.

The story is in your second paragraph. Perhaps adding in the earth being owned by one of the alien kids. As EE said - that is an interesting fact of your story.<BR/><BR/>Are the aliens really colors? What is the significance of the colors?<BR/><BR/>Zaught Green can be an interesting title, especially if you talk about the boy who owns Earth naming it Zaught. I think it would be even more interesting if he named it after himself and the green is changed to the color of the owner. Kids should really relate to that.<BR/><BR/>Van is short for Vanessa?
