Review: This is strictly for YA

I liked the premise of the story. It was interesting and had great possibilities. I would recommend this book for kids between the ages of 10 and 15. There is nothing in it that could possible be considered distasteful by parents for their children.BUT - as an adult, I found gramatical and spelling errors. The story was rushed in parts and dragged in others. As an avid science fiction reader, I found it a bit boring as it was not explained to my satisfaction. Had it been more fleshed out, believable explanations and less of a rush (warp drive?) to the end, I could have enjoyed. The possibliites of this are wonderful.I really don't like YA and wish that I had been warned that the main protagonists were 17 year olds, I probably wouldn't have read it. If I had paid for it, I would be asking for my money back. If you like stories about good kids coming to the aid of their fellow human beings - then this story is for you. Provided you don't mind the grammer flipping around from present participle (which I really hate reading in a story) to conditional perfect (also hate) to past (which, usually, all professional writers use). I found it rather distracting and annoying.Clean up the grammer and flesh out the story/characters and this story could win some awards.
