Would you keep reading?

Honestly no, this reading seems to go into too much detail and starts way too soon if I were editing this I would start at the beginning of the third paragraph where the mother says “Andrew McCoy, you quit looking at the sun unless you want to go blind!" all the information the reader requires is in the following paragraphs. You should try to write more in the present tense as this will draw in the reader and try not to so fervently describe the scene as this will allow the reader the option to imagine their own scenery and in a small way make the story their own which readers tend to enjoy. You should also have more interactions between the characters as this helps to add dept to each of the characters and allows the reader to relate better to them in a way that recalling thoughts might not be able to do. One last note you may want to consider writing this as a first person novel as it will help to draw the reader into the story much fast than the perspective that is given now. As a side note this really seems to have great potential I suppose I might be a bit overly critical as I have worked with a few publisher in the past and know what they like, believe me you would be surprised at some of the first drafts of books that later ended up on the New York best seller list so keep on writing and you never know you might be the next Joyce Carol Oates.
