I don't know much about your texts but from what I can tell, looking at characterisation is always solid. Look for how the author describes the main characters, how they contrast and how they relate to their setting. Language structures may include visual descriptions of the characters and also importantly the way they speak (including colloquialisms that may indicate them as a member of a community or sub culture).

Really hope it helps! :awesome:

For looking for Alibrandi talk about the use of first person. It gives us an understanding of how she thinks and feels.
