Lead

 * Lead gives good information on what novel is. Would reccomend more sourcing even though its basic information and a secondary source. Good first sentence clearly states what article is. Very concise lead that is elaborated on in Plot section.

Content

 * Mostly based off plot section
 * Unfamiliar with topic, but appears plot is well covered without spoiling book
 * Address equity gap as the author is a woman so brings more publicity and content to women writers
 * Need to cite more
 * Content all seems relevant to novel
 * Perhpas could extrapolate away from specific novel to get more content

Tone and Balance

 * The content added is neutral, does not spoil plot and is broad
 * Appears to be balance, covers plot of book so should be good to not be biased. Maybe avoid delving too deep in just one character or part of book
 * Did not feel this was attempting to persuade me but instead just inform

Sources and References

 * Needs secondary sourcing, lots of primary sources used
 * Sources need to be more informative
 * Link 2 does not work
 * Should aim for many more quality sources to cite more often and with various sourcing diversity

Organization

 * Content is easy to follow and read
 * Appears free of spelling errors and grammar seems acceptable
 * Sections are easy to follow, I would reccomend more sections, perhaps a characters section for more content

Images and Media

 * No images present
 * Maybe lay out images of the books cover?

For New Articles Only

 * Not supported by 2-3 independent secondary sources
 * Not exaustive list of sources, need more to make content balanced and reliable
 * Could talk about themes, art, and criticisms as subheadings seen in other articles
 * Does not link to other articles

Overall impressions
Overall, I feel I was able to get a good understanding of the article, given the content. I have a general understanding of the chronological plot, some characters involved, and the setting, Ellingham Academy in Vermont. Though short in this version of the article, it was very concise, and I felt this was a good representation of the book. I learned it has numerous awards and is part of a series of books. To improve this article, it needs much more sourcing, especially secondary sources to have a credible bibliography. Some images and a characters section could also be useful to a reader for organization purposes. I would say the main thing would be supplementing sourcing and length of article.
