What is the author's style in Bone: Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith?

The language of the novel is very easy going and childlike. Aimed at a young audience, the sentences are constructed in a way that is simple for young people to understand, in that there are no particular rules pertaining to grammar, punctuation, or spelling. Many of the characters are young adults themselves, making this language style particularly useful, in that it allows readers to relate to the characters. Additionally, this language adds a depth to characters that allows the reader to discover subtle differences in behaviors, simply through language alone.
