Inviting first line – instantly involving the reader.

I love the way you refer to the height of the family by the question about weather, rather than just saying, that they were tall.

I’m intrigued to know what’s going to happen next. I want to know what’s going to happen to Thomas, and Sally? Are they going to escape the house, and their social isolation? How is that going to happen?

A great start. Now I need to know more.
