One of the aspects of drawing imagery to describe something is the image itself. You can be as imaginative and passionate as you can but if the reader cannot relate to the picture you’re painting, you’ve effectively lost them. That’s something that Chris Fabry does fairly well is use understandable and often common similes to convey emotion. This also serves to cement the youthfulness of the characters, in a sense. A kid isn’t going to relate to something complex; they will make a quick and easy connection to something on “the tip of their tongue.”
