I don't think Hobie should have gotten his hopes up. I do like the B-24

Model building though. I hope that Hobie makes the model for the next chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when Hobie and June put together the plane June's going to do

something and break it. I also think that Hobie is going to keep trying

to get Duke back . I really hope he does but it's going to take some time.

# data[].attributes.body
Hobie gets a B-24 from his uncle Trig and works

on building it. Then Hobie goes to Blessing of the Fleet

(It is a ceremony where someone blesses a boat for

fishing season)

# data[].attributes.body
I think when Hobie was going to raise the

flag he might have been fearful that he

was going to mess up. When Hobie gets

the letter back from the Pfc. Corff hes

mad he cant get Duke back. When Hobie

gets the plane he is excited because it's

his dads plane.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how Uncle Tryg chose Hobie to raise the flag on the boat.

Also I really liked the line "'There's always hope with a line in the water'".

I feel bad for Hobie that he couldn't get Duke back, yet once he does something

like sends his dog to the army he can't just say like the next day that he wants his dog back.

It's pretty cool how Uncle Tryg got Hobie the model plane and Hobie decided he was going to

donate the model plane for the army. I really hope that Hobie gets Duke back at the end of the book.

Also I hope his dad comes back.

# data[].attributes.body
I think when Uncle tryg said " there is always hope with the is line in the water." I think

that means that there will be hope that Dad will come back during fishing seasons. I think

in the next chapter that Hobie will write back to Pfc. Corff and Duke.

# data[].attributes.body
Poor Hobie. I wish he could've

gotten Duke back. But still, he is

an idiot. I mean, if he knew he

was going to miss him, why the

heck did he send Duke away in

the first place? He was way too

hopeful that Duke was going to

come back. He made a really bad

decision.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hobie is going to try again in his letters to try to get Duke back.I'm thinking that Hobie will get Duke back somehow, and that his dad will come back as well. I'think that W.W. II will effect his dad and Duke, but that it wouldn't effect Dukes and Hobie's dads personalities.

# data[].attributes.body
I think World War II and Duke being gone is really affecting Hobie.

His plan didn't work and he is so disappointed that he can't get Duke back soon. I hope that Hobie will get Duke and his dad back. I would donate the plane to the army but not my dog.

# data[].attributes.body
I am eager to hear the next chapter.

I think Hobies dad might come home

for a surprise gift for Hobie, June and

Hobies Mom. Hobie should also

ask Uncle Tryg where he got the

model airplane so he can donate

some more for his dad and the army

I wish Hobie would get Duke back and

be more brave for Duke and His Dad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is cool how Hobi hang the flag. It must have been a huge honor for him. Just like him donating Duke.

# data[].attributes.body
I bet that Hobie feels crushed because he isn't getting Duke back right away. But I also

think that Duke will come back. I also think that Hobie shouldn't throw

"Duke's" letters in the garbage because it is a like a memory of him. Still,

Hobie did make the right choice to donate his Duke and even his new model

plane. My prediction at the end of the book, Duke and Hobie's father will come back.

I think it may have been a bad idea for Hobie to send Duke. He made the right choice, but

he knew he was going to miss him too much!

# data[].attributes.body
I think Hobie was very happy that

he got the model plane to build from

uncle Tryg. LOVE to build things out of legos,

and I like to do models. I do wish Hobie could get

Duke back. Pfc. Corff is kind of mean for not

giving Duke back.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is sad that Hobie did not

get Duke back. But he should stop

trying to do it without permission.

I like how when Hobie asked for some

of June's candy she gave him the kind

she didn't like. I don't like how Hobie

threw the letter in the trash. Pfc. Corff

spent time making that letter. I like

how Hobie is going to donate the

plane he is making.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hobie shouldn't

totally give up on Duke, but

if he keeps on trying to get Duke

back, he is going to get in trouble.

I like how Hobie is trying to do

everything he can to help the

war effort. I also think

donating Duke was the right idea,

and Hobie just has to realize that.

Hobie needs to realize that he is

brave.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does Hobbie send away his dog in the first place if he wants him back now, and even though he sent Duke away I wouldn't want to get in trouble getting him back. but I still think sending Duke and his b-24 which is his last peice of his father is brave.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hobie made the right choice donating

Duke. But I also think that he should try to get used to

the fact that Duke is gone. I know how Hobie feels, though.

I think that people are giving him a hard time without

realizing it. Hobie should stop trying to get Duke back without

permission. It could get him into trouble with a very important service.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hobie will find a way to get Duke back. He will have to come up with a creative way to get Duke back.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the saying ,"there's always hope when there's a line in the water",

Said by Uncle Tryg means that when you send out a line to fish you hope for a fish to bite

the line. But, the fish might not bite so, you HOPE. I also think that Hobie knew that they would not send Duke back.

# data[].attributes.body
When Hobie gets the model airplane and decides he will donate it that he is doing the right thing. I also think he got very upset and sad when he figures out that he can't get Duke back. When Hobie writes to ask for Duke back he knows he probably won't get Duke back but feels crushed when he can't get Duke back.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the pastor

meant that when the FISHING

line is in the water there is hope that

the fish will be caught. In the next chapter, I bet Hoby

will do a crazy stunt that gets him in trouble, trying to save Duke.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the quote means that whenever you are fishing or have a line in the water there is hope. It was a big honor for Hobie to raise the flag. I also think that Hobie won't be able to get Duke back very easily.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hobie will keep trying to get Duke back and end

up doing some crazy things while trying to do that.

Also I really liked how Pfc. Corff says, "We are a team now."

Which I think shows suspense because Hobie

and Duke used to be a team and now its Pfc. Corff.

So what will happen about that.

I love the book so far and am excited to see what happens next!

# data[].attributes.body
I think Hobie was a little too hopeful that he was gonna get his dog back before the war was over. I think that Hobie got really excited when Uncle Tryg told him he could raise the flag. I wish Hobie could have finished the model plane that afternoon so he could have described what his dad's plane looked like.I wonder if Duke is scared of being without Hobie or if Hobie is scared of being without Duke.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how this book makes you feel the emotions of each and every one of the characters. When Hobie feels sad, I feel sad. When Hobie's sister feels upbeat, I feel upbeat. I think that Kirby Larson expresses the feelings of the characters very well.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were Hobie I would have asked Uncle Tryg where he got the

model B-24 and go get about 15 more to donate to the army.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when they chose Hobie

to raise the flag it was a huge honor.

I also think that Hobie will find a way

to get Duke back. Pfc. Corff is very nice

to Hobie even though Hobie wants

his dog back. In the next chapter I

think Hobie will send the B-24 to the

army and he will think of another way

to get Duke back.

Bottem: B-24

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hobie will find a way to get Duke back. I also think that when he sends the model that they will send another letter. I think that what he meant Is that when they said there is always hope with a line in the water is that when you put hope out good things can happen. I also think that Hobie and June's dad will make it home.
