First/Third Person Shifts: Dollar Runaways

I can't find the entry now, but someone was asking a while back whether one could effectively have the protagonist telling his/her part of a story in first person, interrupted by parts from other POVs in third person.

Just wanted to mention that Dollar Runaways by Tiffany Shar uses that format.

Sections are separated by one line space and all begin with the first three words in BOLD CAPS. The POV always appears in the first sentence of the section, most frequently in those first three boldfaced words.

It works quite well, IMO.
