@Connor Thomas Cleary:
Thanks for the comments, dude! I'm totally with you on the text visibility. Shadowing is s great idea.
As for Nathan's intelligence, I thought we were conveying it pretty well, and I totally agree with you that children "get" a lot. I thought we presented that well. Sorry. :(
As for each voice sounding the same . . . huh, did not consider something like that.
I'm glad you liked Literate overall.
