Answer:
Nethergave falls under the genre of scifi because the protagonist Jeremy jumped into a virtual world to escape the horrible first day of school and ended up being trapped there. Although the book is not in the future , that doesn't mean that the book is a work of science fiction. The fact that his avatar is a jaguar and has all the qualities that he aspires to have proves that the book is fictional because a human can't be a jaguar. And the fact that he's in a virtual world proves that there is some element of science and technology.
In conclusion, Gloria Skurzynski’s “Nethergrave" is nothing short of a wonderful sci-fi narrative.

Tone, as you may know, is the general attitude an author takes in the construction of a story, essay, poem, etc. that can be determined by the author's choice of words.

Cole, we see slang/informality in the author's word choice in the following sentence from the essay: "Because there's scientific gold in them there sinusoidal
hills." Additionally, there are many analogies and similes the author uses in the explanation of concepts such as when the author writes "Like children going after cookies the patterns of sloshing particles left their sticky fingerprints all over the sky." As such, one way to describe the author's tone would be informal (almost playful/humorous) yet informative.
When I think of persuasive I think of someone convincing another person to do something.
