    My thinking is that having a female-male protagonist pairing automatically doubles the potential audience in the youth demographic. (Maybe they are grandchildren of the book’s owner.)

    It also enables the story to play off gender roles, behavior and archetypes for conflict (and comic relief). Like he imagines/envisions his worst fear in the form of a dragon; she sees it as wolf. Or zombie versus vampire. Or all of the above and more. IOW: the dreaded, shadow “other” is a shapeshifter. He over-analyzes, mansplains everything. She trusts her intuition and emotions. (Or flip the tropes: she hits the pause button in every situation to over-analyze; he impulsively goes with his guts.)

    Whatever. Best wishes with the project.

    Who/what is the primary antagonist/obstacle in the story world that must be overcome?

    Suggestion: Amp up the conflict with dual protagonists. A boy and girl must work together to get to the last page of the book — and freedom. But they have diametrically different visions of how to proceed at every plot point. They argue over everything.

    Working title : Write of Passage.
