Leap Years

Leap Years follows Jake as he goes through highschool. Freshman and sophmore year are extremely condensed, because Jake has not yet met his imaginary friend (a human sized talking frog who only Jake can see) who will help him transition into protagonist. The frog gets Jake to do something, anything other than zone out in classes and go home to watch TV. Soon Jake is on the basketball team, on a first date, and generally getting a social life - all with a prodding from his frog friend. As Jake progresses through school and social skills, he begins to do things on his own and without so much prodding from his imaginary friend. Then he graduates. This had a nice pace and feel to it. It had a lot of mood, and a lot of the engaging more with the world that Jake started to do was pretty true to life. The graphics are kind of rough the whole way through, without any shining moments. This is expensive for what it is, but would be good for a library to invest in.
