I wonder in the next book his parents split up, because they do have a lot of disagreements.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the reason he was being nice was because if Jack found out his secret maybe he wouldn't tell.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I agree it seems like he matured a little and being grounded set him in place wich is what he needed

# data[].attributes.body
I saw that there is a second book. Iwonder if Mr.Spizz will get out of jail.

# data[].attributes.body
Thisis kind of like Luaren's but I think miss Volker likes love storys because she is lonley. But she also has company now that Jack hangs out with her though but she really doesn't have someone to really like that is her own age.

# data[].attributes.body
Miss volker wants to set up a protect Norvelt thing to keep houses. But they could make new houses if she really wants new people to come live there and Norvelt not to die out.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does miss volker care so much a bout this promiss? She wants it to be over but she doesn't want to take away her promiss

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was kind od wierd onpage 224 that Jack's dad called him jackie because miss volker is normally he person who does that. Also that he was taking a house to West Verginia

# data[].attributes.body
On page 217 jack says that he feels like his OLD self. Which makes me think of how he was at the beggining and how he is now, and he has deffinitly changed

# data[].attributes.body
Around page 200 mr.spizz asks Jack to buy things because he hurt his leg. I thought it was kind of wierd that he'd do something nice to Jack

# data[].attributes.body
On page 209 miss Volker seems a little to happy about Ms.Dibiki's death shen was one step closer to havng to marry mr.spizz

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. I didn't hear that either.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree about how Mr.Spizz is jealous of Jack

# data[].attributes.body
I agree even though I haven't read that yet.

# data[].attributes.body
yes i agree because we thought everything could be a possibility. But we were expecting something totally differente.

# data[].attributes.body
rI have noticed that now all of the sudden Jack's parents are not being so tough on him with his gounding and stuff. I wonder why that is?.

# data[].attributes.body
On several occasions and page numbers I have noticed this but Mrs. Volker seems like a very determined and brave person to me. There is just so much she does and so much she wants to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I was wondering that to like i thought they were punishing him not being nice to him. Also I thought that they would not giving him and presents

# data[].attributes.body
This doesn't have a specific page number because it has happened on several occasions but I just don't really get why mrs. Volker wants to be the last original person from norvelt alive. it just seems kind of like a weird goal to me.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 292 Mr Spizz says

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you we were thinking it was going to be like taking all of the clues from little things but it wasn't

# data[].attributes.body
When it said in the book that their Uncle was trying to shoot a deer, but Jack's mom was in the way. The uncle still was about to shoot her and they are related. I thought this was just very strange.

# data[].attributes.body
Though out the book Mr. Spizz Calls Jack Mrs Volker's boyfriend. I think Mr. Spizz Is jealous of jack because jack spends lots more time with Mrs Volker than he does.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 164 jack " leaped up from my seat and nearly cracked the window glass with my forehead to me this shows that something as little as doing the j-3 it shows that he does not do a lot of fun things, probably is bored a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
On about page 190 I noticed that Jack's dad went out to go help the fire but I didn't know he was a volunteer firefighter. Maybe I missed it but it just seemed like they hadn't mentioned it.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that all of us kind of over estimated what the mystery is like thinking it had to do with his nose or bunny, but in the end I think it was a pretty easy mystery to figure out (because they told you pretty soon to when the mystery started).

# data[].attributes.body
On page 194 Ms. Volker is crying because her sisters old house got burned down. For the first time ever I actually feel kind of sorry for her. Before she has just seemed like a senseless old lady but it shows that she is actually a little caring.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, It says he's about 12, but yet people seem fine that he is driving for the most part and in the olden days people did mary sooner and even die sonner.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. Killing people just so someone will marry you is kind of extreme.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 141 jack says "maybe he is planning on turning Novelt into one big cemetery." To since everyone is dying they might make it like a heritage center because it is a small town and a lot of old people are dying/

# data[].attributes.body
Ms.Volker did the surgery and I think she only did it on one nose so I think the bleeding one is the one she did not fix. Also later in the book it talks about doing nose surgery again, so that's probably the other nose.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't read that part yet but I agree with you that that is a little extreme. Personally, if a guy killed a bunch of people to be with me I would not date or marry him!

# data[].attributes.body
On page 230 jack says, "But he will pay me" (for the news station). I think hta the parent should let jack work at the news station because that are poor and that is extra income coming in to benefit the family.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 263  The newspaper guy said "those old ladies are dropping like flies. A real shame, someone should look into all these deaths." Isn't Mrs Volker looking into all the deaths

# data[].attributes.body
On page 179 Jack's dad asks for him to go drive Mrs. Volker to the church so this makes me wonder did all children drive this young then even though they were not supposed to because it seems like a pretty unusual thing now but maybe it wasn't back then.

# data[].attributes.body
I think mr.Spizz might be a little crazy because he killed all of those people just to be with ms.Volker and I think that it's way to extreme and should have tried another way to date her.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 221 mrs. volker says to jack, "By the way, your nose is bleeding" I wonder who ever did the surgery I forget who but odvisely the surgery did not work because his nose still bleeds. My question is does jacks mom know about his sugery.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you it is nice to have a little reassurance that she has some common sense!

# data[].attributes.body
This Happens more than just on page 259, but throughout the book  Mrs Volker sticks red pins on a needlepoint map of norvelt. She must have had a lot of time to make a needlepoint map of a town.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 227 mrs volker says," I like a love story" To me this shows that she is lonely because she is pretty old and does not have anyone except jack so thats why she probably likes hearing love stories.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't think this book was a very good mystery book because you didn't have much time to figure out the mystery and even what it was before they told you.I like when the mystery is the whole book and some background knowledge but not the other way around.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 150 for Jack's birthday it was strange to me because all of the sudden his parents were being so nice to him. I get the it is his birthday but before they were just so mad at him.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 226 mrs. Volker says, "You can't write and drive" To me It shows that mrs. Volkers has some common sense, but the fact she is in a car with a 12 year old driving is dumb.

# data[].attributes.body
Miss volker seems upset that she told mr.spizz she would marry him after all the origonal Novelt people die. And she seems to hope he dies first.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr.Spizz told Jack that the runway was not ok but I wonder if Jack's dad already knew that and didn't care or not.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr.Spizz called Jack miss Volker's NEW boy friend so I wonder if they used to have something or not.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 135 miss Volker says to mr.spizz that he is waiting for everyone in the town to die, that is interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 116 ithe italics Jack talks about how everything will die and only insects the size of dinasuars will be left. I wondered where he got that idea from

# data[].attributes.body
I think luaren is on to something with his loveof history and how he conects it to real life.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm pretty positive that she is just using figurative language to spice up the writing, and I do think when she says born she means built.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe he was doing it to get attention and wanted to get run over so Hell's Angels could do the crime with an excuse.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why the author is giving so much background knowledge, because I'm more then half way through the book and the mystery hasn't even been introduced.Unless the author likes to add lots of details or something.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mr.Spizz might have something to do with the mystery because he seems to know things, like when his dad only told his son about something and somehow Mr.Spizz found out.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if Jack's love for ready history and stuff will help him later figure out the mystery, because he connects real life to what he's read already.

# data[].attributes.body
I would think Jack would think to bring tissues wherever he goes because he bleeds all the time and expects it to happen.

# data[].attributes.body
Jackś dad doesn seem to like miss volker wery much. I wonder why

# data[].attributes.body
Thats true, Mrs Volker is always saying she wants Mr Spizz to die and He will die first

# data[].attributes.body
I've noticed that Mrs. Volker and Spizz have kind of a weird relationship. They say things about how they I have each other and then how they hate each other and it is a little confusing.

# data[].attributes.body
Why was the guy who got hit by the truck dancing? He might have a connection yo Norvelt but no one knows it yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Volker said that the house that was burned down was born in 1935. This is weird because houses can't be born. They can be built, so maybe she meant built, but I'm not so sure.

# data[].attributes.body
I think mary kate is rght about miss volkerś relationship with spizz

# data[].attributes.body
I think luaren is right because she COULD get away with anyting because of no finger prints

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with mary kate about how he is doing it all for his dad when he doesn want to really.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 187 Jack's Mom tells him to get the Japanese binoculars. this is strange because he isn't supposed to use them, and his mom is telling him to go rummage through his dad's stuff to look for them

# data[].attributes.headline
6 observation/ response to Natalie -Mary Kate

# data[].attributes.subject
6 observation/ response to Natalie -Mary Kate

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you I noticed that on the inside of the book where it gives you a summary it says "and possibly murder" so maybe that could be part of the mystery

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing has really happened on a specific page number but I am thinking that Mrs. Volker will be a big part in the mystery because there are so many weird. mysterious, and unusual things she does and things she makes other people do

# data[].attributes.body
On page 188 the mom says'` the whole house... its on fire." to me this might be a clue because maybe the mystery is who burned the house down might be a mystery to figure out who did it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah to me it is kind of weird that she 'grounded' her husband to. He is a grown man and can decisions for himself.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 160 it says,"he thought there brother was intentionally killed." This might turn into kind of The Westing game and see who is the suspect and that could be the mystery

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, because his dad seems to be keeping many secrets from his wife anyway.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 132 Jack says that nothing could be worse than digging that fake bomb shelter. This makes me wonder why he is doing all of this for his dad and nothing for his mom. I'm wondering if this could have something to do with the mystery because why would he be doing so much for his dad if he thinks it is so stupid.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 114 Jack says, " That's less then Mr. Fenton wants for his car" This to me shows prices in this time period were a lot lower than now. Also in the olden days things were a lot cheaper. So this might be in the older, olden days setting based off the clues.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not thought about that at all but now that you say that it makes total sense. She says it is for her arthritis but that doesn't really make sense and they didn't explain it very much.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 183 about, Jack talks about what he imagines heaven is like and it's pretty descriptive. This leads me to that I think he has a big imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah I was wondering the same thing like why was she burning her hands It does not make sense. She is a mysterious women.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Ms. Volker might have something to do with the mystery and if she did she could get away with it if she keeps that wax on her hands(no fingerprints)

# data[].attributes.body
I've noticed that Jack's mom seems like she wants everything to go her way and I wonder why she never makes any accommodations for anyone elses happiness.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you. Seeing how the mom is like around Jack and her husband she seems like a very controlling women in general.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 113 dad says "I bought my way out of trouble" and I think it is weird that the mom is basicly grounding the dad thats kind or unusual because he is a grown up. And the fact he has to by his wife something to get out of trouble seems redictulas

# data[].attributes.body
There has been several events on several different page numbers such as on page 24 when Mr. Volker was 'burning her hands., She just seems kind of suspicious and unusual to me and I don't know if that could be a clue later on in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in the maybe 1960s or so because it was talking about milk being delivered every day to there door and I know that happened in the 1960s or so.

# data[].attributes.body
When do you think this book takes place?

# data[].attributes.body
On page 112 jack dads says, "How would like to escape your room for a while." To me it seems like they might go to florida because it says 'a while'. And since the dad wants to go and mom does not they might separate.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you Jack doesn't want to but Mrs. Volker is promoting him to do unsafe actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is kind of suspicious that on page 123 Mrs. Volker is having Jack drive because that is extremely unsafe so I wonder if something is going to happen to her because she doesn't seem to make the smartest choices.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 103 Jack says "i felt uncomfortable behind the wheel" This shoes to me mrs. Volker is/will encourage him in bad behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Place WEEK 2 posts below this box!

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not sure why I think this but, I kind of think Jack will run away. I just feel it in my gut. It seems like something like that would happen.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you I get that everyone has there own opinions and things like that but dead people is not a typical hobby for a child

# data[].attributes.body
Now that you say that it seems true. I hadn't noticed that before.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you since that is kind of an unusual job I think it could have something to do with it.

# data[].attributes.body
She also told Jack to throw away the chocolate. And said it was the same hopeless case as always. That seems strange.

# data[].attributes.body
Sence his friend Bunny and her family works with the dead/dead bodies I think she will be his partner in crime or help him solve the mystery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Jack's fear of dead people could be a clue. I'm not totally sure if it is, but it could be

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Jake do what his dad wanted rather than his mom? I think that he is more afraid of his dad than his mom. Because he didn't want his mom to tell his dad about the gun.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is Jake so afraid of death and Bunny is so into is and they're like best friends

# data[].attributes.body
The title is "Dead end" and on the back it says that there is a possible murder.

# data[].attributes.body
Ms.Dubicki seems like a nice lady even if she is about to die.

# data[].attributes.body
It kinda sounded when Ms.Volker said "Dang" that she wanted Ms.Dubicki to be dead.
