I do not think that she thinks that this will help Dash come back, but Early is making it as good as it can get.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he does not care personally, but he wants the Pearls to be happy because he is a nice person.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 244 Velma is talking funny, I think that someone could have put drugs or poison into something she ate.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 234 it say the bade things are always happing at the shelter. I think those things are happing because of the pearls.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 228 it says that Al left a razor blade at the shelter. I think the razor blade could have a hidden message on it.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 227 Mrs. Happadee says "such lovely children you have," after Early and Jubie say some suspicious stuff. I think this means that Mrs. Happadee knows weird stuff is going on, but she doesn't know what the weird stuff is.

# data[].attributes.body
Good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 196 Early talks about the poem with mr waive. I don't think the poem has anything to do with the mystery.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 202 and 203 Early explains her idea for all the kids in the shelters for the houses, I wonder if she thinks this will help dash come back

# data[].attributes.body
On page 227, Mrs. Happadee says ¨

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree. Good thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, but I don't think that this has to do with the main mystery .

# data[].attributes.body
I agree he seems nervous or worried like Mr.P has complete control over him and can punish or hurt him whenever he wants.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't catch this in the reading., but yes I totally agree I wonder if that changes his character and the part he plays in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter cover Al stole all of the Pearls belongings and was following them home. I think this is suspicious. He may be uilty and not on their side.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter cover Al thought something might have been in the books. Was he hinting this to Early, but trying not to strait out tell her. Could have diamond been hidden

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter cover Mr.Waive was talking with spacious people at the library and seemed to be threatened. I wonder if they are black mailing hime or something because he has information.

# data[].attributes.body
IN chapter cover Al says " So I dropped clues about the building number by pointing out time patterns that shared the information in code." That is about the journal entry and we found out that, that was a clue after all and the numbers may have to do with where Dash is now.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter cover it states"Mr.Pincer is part of all this too?" Then Al says" No, well, Maybe, but not as fast as dash knew at least I think" I think that he is trying to cover him up because he wants as little as criminals if he or someone gets caught.

# data[].attributes.body
IN chapter cover Al said"If I'm seen talking to you, I'll be fired and - and maybe even killed. We might both be." The really makes me think he is guilty of something and if he is seen with Dash's kid it might seem like he is spilling information if he has any.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Sum knows that getting mad at Jubie won't solve any problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I think you are right because it seems to me that Mr. Pincer is not as nice as he wants Early to think. I don't think that early should have told him even a fake version of what's going on with dash and she should just leave him out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems to me that Early understands the kids more than they think. On page 200 she explains how it's not fun for them to do homework because it makes them think about school and how it's like a secret to be homeless.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 218 it says Mr. Alslip ran away like an animal avoiding traps. I think this means that Mr. Alslip knows that if he steps out of line, Mr. Pincer will have people make Mr. Alslip disappear like Dash.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 198 Jubie was asking other costumers for food and then Sum got yelled at and then did not get the job. I was surprised that Sum did not get mad and I wonder why.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 192 Early says that she notices that Mr. Waive has holes in his collar and smells like the soap that they use in the shelters. I bet he lives in the shelters.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 189 Mr Waive says, "your father is just on a long list of missing people. Fascinating, I must say!" What if he doesn't even care if Dash comes back with and attitude like that?

# data[].attributes.body
I think so aswell.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 178 it says that Mr. Pincer did not like it when he was told 2 different stories, but the real question is, who told him first?

# data[].attributes.body
On page 104 Jubie tells the tutor what happened at their house and how they are spies, then the kids ask if he wants to sit by them. I bet they want to get information.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what you're saying. But it could just be a nickname.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 177 it says that Mr. Pincer laughed at the thought on Dash coming home.

# data[].attributes.body
Why would they leave because of the pearls? Did it hint that in the book? I thought that they left due to a family emergency.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, I think that he is worried about something and he may be involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree thats what it means, but I don't think this has to do with the main mystery. Unless his mother is involved and she does not seem to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Or what if Darren and his family left because they always rotate where they live

# data[].attributes.body
On page 176, Mr. Pincer keeps sweating like he is worried about something.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter circle it talks about Dash's old teacher. What if the teacher has something to do with how he disappeared. Maybe he liked that teacher and wants to help her. I would not be surprised if she now worked at the library.

# data[].attributes.body
That person could have something to do with him leaving and help them find where dash is. The teacher could tell about how he acted or how his childhood is like.

# data[].attributes.body
I think so. Maybe his father left him at one point.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 176, Mr. Pincer keeps asking if Early know what they wanted, as if Mr. Pincer was worried if she found out that he was in on it.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 109 it says that Early can not find Darren. I think Darren and his family left because of the Pearls.

# data[].attributes.body
" using a laser to identify it, a Juelehn in Chicago tells us this is a gemstone from the biggest diamond heist in history." Why would this be in their house unless someone planted it there or Dash was hiding it there.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter Crimp deceives think that Dash is guilty and that the found diamond was a clue to his crime/crimes. I think that he was framed or that he is guilty. I think they were robed because those guys wanted the diamond.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter Crimp is says "No one by the name of Al worked on the 6th floor at Harold Washington."
This makes me wonder if that Al guy did give a fake name to frame Dash.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter Crimp it states "There was a warrant out for dashes arrest and the FBI was involved." Why would the police think he was Guilty if he wasn't. Them saying he is makes me think so too. That or he could have been framed

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter Circle it says "Find skip waive, Das's old teacher." I'm not sure who this is, but I think he will play a key role as a helpful ally.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 87 it says "Like Dash, Langston had grew up without much love or a steady home." Commonly people with troubled pasts commit crime. I wonder if Dash did something it has to do with him having a hard childhood.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 98 Darren also says, " There are parks and benches that feel homey," I Don't think that Darren and his family have ever had their own home. I also think that his parents aren't together because he said that their dad does not stay in the shelter with him.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 98 Darren says, " I gotta head back before my mom starts swinging leather." This makes me think that he is being whipped with a belt. It also says that Early noticed a moon shaped scar on him which could also mean he is being abused.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 90 it states how life was in the shelter and I think dash will come home to the apartment then realize that they aren't there anymore if he comes back.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
On page 46 it talks about how their bank account was only down to $110 and I think since she was surprised that it was low, meaning they had more money in there, I think the money in the envelope was the money that had disappeared.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 36 it said that the girl he was writing about ran away so maybe he is trying to be like her. I think it could be one of the reasons why or the main reason why.

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely think the money has something to do with the disappearance of dash. On page 34 sum finds the money and wonders what he is up to.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that is a really important clue and that the surprise might not be as good as expected.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree I think that they know a bit more than we think and why would they hide something if it wasn't bad or illegal.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 38 it says "Dash earned this extra for us by doing some smart work outside of his library job." It seems like Sum didn't actually know where he got the money and was trying to cover something up.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 46 it states "She had been to the bank the day after Dashel vanished, and was surprised that the account was so low - only $110." I think he may have taken the money and ran or maybe he took it to pay someone back who he was in trouble with.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 30 dash said "not a word now, or you'll get me in trouble". I think this is adding on to my theory that he will come home with a surprise or special news.

# data[].attributes.body
ON page 47 she has a conversation with someone at the library. This man seems to know a lot for just working at a library. He also seems like he wants her to tell him something I'm not sure what, but I think he is involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dad will come back on his own with a surprise because I think the money and the books have something to do with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe if they don't think it their dad could be someone who is not as good as they think he is

# data[].attributes.body
on page 29 it states "But Early knew a secret: About a week ago, she'd seen Dashel add a thick envelope of money hidden inside on of his encyclopedia stacks." This clue is the same as clue 4, but I think it's interesting that she did not tell right away. I think maybe she knows more than we know so far.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand what you are saying, but I think this was a "Red Herring" to make you think he left them on purpose. But in reality he got kidnapped by the same people who brake into the house.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 59 people break into their home, and take the books, I think these people will come back, and take Summer to Dash, and threaten to hurt her, so Dash will give them what they want.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 55 Early says "I wouldn't let this happen to Dash's dream, not if it is the last thing I do." I think this means that in the future Early is going to open a book store for dash.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 53, both Summer, and Early agree that Jubie can't handle keeping a big secret. I think that he might overhear them talking about something, then tell someone the secret.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 19 Al answered yes before the question was asked, as if he already new what Summer would say.

# data[].attributes.body
Later in the book it changes to different "C" words.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 52 it says that Mr. Princer knew the name of the bookseller before Summer told him. I think this means the Mr. Princer had something to do with Dash disappearing.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, and why did he not keep it in a bank account? Would it have gotten stolen if it was at the bank?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and maybe his friend has something to do with how and why he disappeared.

# data[].attributes.body
As you read you will find that the click turns into a different onomatopoeia and yes I think it has to do with the mystery.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and I thought it was weird because they referred to this in the very beginning of that book.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 19 it says "He did not know the bookseller, but his new friend did." I think that his new friend is not really his friend, but he wants Dash's money

# data[].attributes.body
On page 36 it says "He was reading a mystery writer namer Agatha Christie, and also things she said about her life. Dash put some of her ideas in the Quote Book. He said that her plots were very clever, that sometimes all the clues were right in front of you but perfectly hidden. Hidden in plain sight. He also said se disappeared for a while, and no one could find her." I think he got ideas from this book and I think that it is implying he did the same thing the author did.

# data[].attributes.body
On every page it says "click" and I think it might have something to do with the ending or why he disappeared.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 33 it states "He pulled some paper money out of his pocket and added it to an envelope hidden in one of his encyclopedia stacks."
Why would dash need to hide something unless it was illegal or dangerous for his family to be around.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 10 it says that the librarians know he wants to have a library science degree . I am not sure how they know that.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 24 it shows a journal writing from dash. I think that this is a clue to what he was doing. I'm not exactly sure what it means, but I think it could be part of the mystery.
