What is the author's style in The Man Who Loved Clowns by June Rae Wood?

As the novel is written for young readers, the language tends to be very conversational and easy to understand. The sentences are constructed in a way that is not only easy to follow but also so they gain momentum as the reader reads on. The sentences are constructed to entice the reader to turn the next page, with many chapters ending in a cliffhanger, and often this structure works.
