i think that Katie has learned a lot from this trial at first she was just a regular girl with no knowledge of the real world what so ever. now that the trial has ended i think that she will take everything more seriously now that she got a little taste of the so called life. or death.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that they should have never given him more time because if he knew he was guilty and he knew he was gonna get caught he would have to wait a lot longer to get executed which means more time thinking about it and knowing that your going to die.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Katie is still just having trouble wrapping her head around everything thats happened in the last few weeks. It all happened in her little hometown of Flemington, where nothing much happens and things usually just stay the same. They get the most famous person in the country to come to their small town to be in the trial for the crime of the century, then you have all of these reporters for different newspapers coming. Every American has their eyes on Flemington for the trial. It's probably just hard for her to believe that they chose her town, with a population of about 2,700 at the time, to have the country's biggest event at the time.

A few thoughts I had while reading chapter 5 was How did his mikes dad get into the hospital,is it because of his dad's bad drinking habits.Also could Katies dad been anything like mikes. one question I had while reading this was why couldn't mikes aunt and uncle move close to mike instead of mike moving to indiana and leaving his dadand why would his dad allow him unless he ws drunk or they knew that this wasn't a safe place for mike. One ephinane that I had was when Mr.Griffen gave Katie the sign to give her more privacy and showed how much of a polite person and how much she meant to katies mom and one last question I have what does this make her think of her Dad might be like.

# data[].attributes.body
A few thoughts that I had was why did the people in the kitchen impersonate a large person who was dancing and making them feel insecure about their weight and how they see themselves.Afew questions that I have is why did people hire Mr. Rliley as their lawyer if he hasn't been winning any cases in a while.Also why did he only meet mr haumptmann once before the trial started. One epiphane I had was that if Mr.Riley is that bad of a lawyer I think the author is trying ti tell us that he loses the case since mr riley didn't know much about mr haumptmann and he has a past with many failed cases.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie isn't really enjoying the trial as much as she thought she would.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is starting to doubt the fact that Hauptman did it. I think she might think that maybe he was innocent. She is also starting to get used to Mr. Griffen being a part of her life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is really hard for Katie because she doesn't know how to feel. She wants her mom to be happy but she also doesn't know how to react to her mom

# data[].attributes.body
Katie said that she should be feeling like she's gaining a father but she feels like she is losing her mother. I think it is because Katie is spending a lot of time with Uncle Jeff and Mr. Griffin.
Part 5
I think that Katie is still processing what happened in her little town. she said that she's been sitting for hours trying to make sense of everything that's happened. She also said some days she feels almost normal, but others she feels like she's riding a circus carousel. she said everything used to lay out so neatly, everything used to seem pretty clear and straight, but now, she says all the streets run slantwise and even the steeples look crooked. I also think she misses Mike.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in part 4 Katie realizes that she is coming closer to having to go back to school and she would be ordinary again.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie's mom gave her courage by believing that she could become a reporter. I also think that she is starting to get comfortable with the fact that Griffin might become her future father.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they had a couple of suspects they just chose Bruno because there was the most evidence even if there are very little pieces. are all the Germans suffering while the trial is going on?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is doubting the fact that Hauptmann is the kidnapper. I also think she agrees with Charles Lindbergh because there were a lot of witnesses who said they say Hauptmann at the scene, even though they were annoying.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Bruno Hauptmann is not guilty. Even though I think he wasn't guilty he still got electrocuted and was killed. He also didn't except the $90,000. His wife Anna Hauptmann didn't remarry or change her last name because she believed that her husband didn't even know about this case. She also claimed that her husband was at home when the baby was kidnapped.
Katie's friend Mike is in Indiana and I think his life will better there then it was in Flemmington.
Some questions I have are...
1. What was evidence that proved Bruno Hauptmann guilty?
2. Will Mike come back to Flemmington?
3. Is Mr. Griffin going to be Katie's new father?
An epiphany I had is...
I didn't think they were going to give Bruno a really long (3 minutes) and painful death. I thought they were going to shot him and

# data[].attributes.body
I thikn Katie is a good person to be in the case with her uncle and understands whats going on.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that seeing all these celebrities makes Katie happy because she lives in a small town. I think this also makes her curious about them because she makes a list for fun.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie had to accept that griffin might be her dad someday and that she has nowhere to hide from all the loud noises, and to accept that mike moved away and uncle Jeff is her new best friend.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is thinking that there is a chance that Hauptmann is innocent, but she is still leaning towards the Lindbergh's side, like everyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts on Hauptmann being guilty or not is that he is guilty. they said that he turned down $90,000 to confess. I think he didn't want to confess that he did it. it later says after he was killed that he was guilty.

# data[].attributes.body
Part-5
I think Katie is not sure of how she feels her mom and Mr.Griffin’s relationship, but she is trying to keep all her thoughts to her self. It’s dissapointing how the real killer wasn’t found.

# data[].attributes.body
Part-4
I think that Katie’s mom is trying to find more opportunities in her life, she is starting change by finding a new husband or even soul mate. Even though she should also respect Katie’s feelings, after all she is her daughter. I think that Hauptmann should get another chance in proving himself. He has a really bad lawyer and he never got enough time to get himself together. Though Hauptmann could still be guilty because all the clues matched up So it makes sense of why the court would accuse for him for the kidnapp. They have no proof of any other person or people that could have done it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie's Mom and Mr. Griffin are going to get together. I think that katie feels she doesn't have and where to hide and she feels trapped and that's why her dad left because flemington is a small town and i think she wants to get away. I also think that she is still trying to accept that her Mom and Mr.Griffin are together and that Mike has moved away and that her Uncle is her best friend. I think Katie feels overwhelmed with all things going on in her life but I think she is sad that everything is moving so fast. i also think Bruno had been killed too fast he didn't even say anything I felt in the book. I also think her mom mad that promise because if her and Mr.Griffin where to get together like get married that her and katie's relationship stay the say Like they are close with each other. One question I have is Are Mike and his family going to move back? and is Katie going to leave and free herself while Mr.Griffin and her mom go to New york?

# data[].attributes.body
I still think that Bruno had an unfair trial but he still ended up dead and that death might have meant something. I think that Mike being in Indiana is better for him and I hope he leads a happy life. Katie still dosnt know what she wants but with this trial she experienced a choice she could have for the future and she could have many more to come. Through everything we never found the real killer but at least they tried.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is ok too be worrying about losing her mom but I also think that she should be happy that her mom is branching out and finding a new lover. I also don't think that they gave Bruno a full chance to show that he is not guilty especially since he had such a bad lawyer. I hope that they give him a new chance and a better lawyer to fight better for Bruno's freedom. Bruno is not innocent but he does not deserve to die.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is unsure about how to feel with all the things going on in her life. I think she just wants things to become normal

# data[].attributes.body
Katie is a lot of weeks into the trial. She realizes that her history teacher will ask a lot of questions about the trial and he will no be very pleased with the answers she will give him. Her uncle's hand is almot back to normal, which means she will have to give up her job of a Democratic Scribe.

Her uncle asks her a question; Do you think Bruno Hauptmann is guilty? She had "Reasonable doubt" about this case and the jury should return a verdict of "Not. Guilty"

Katie is arguing with her grownup self and her childish self about how much happiness her mother should have. She knows that she is gaining a father, but she feels more like she is losing her mother.

After a long 11 hours, the jury decided the fate of Bruno Hauptmann; they decided that he was guilty of first degree 🤬. The judge announces a death sentence for Hauptmann.

A few questions I had were...
1. Why would the jury make such a decision?
2. Is Katie actually gaining a father?
3. Will she  have to go back to school in the middle of the trial?

An AHA moment I had was when the jury declared Hauptmann guilty for 🤬. I really believed that Hauptmann was not guilty after reading everything in this book. Hearing this made me really sad, and was a really big shock for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie feels really happy that she doesn't have the stress of the trial anymore but she is also sad that she doesn't have the stress of the trial anymore. She likes Mr. Griffin now and is fine with her mother dating him. All in all it was a good book.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie wants to stay at the trial and keep writing instead of going back to her school. I also think that Hauptman was innocent and he didn't attempt to steal the baby.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Bruno is innocent and he was wrongly killed. another thought is that Mike is way happier in Indiana than in Fleming and Katie really misses him. I like that they have their own thing with going to the train tracks. A question I have is that what does Katie's mom mean by ruin the family. and my epiphany I had is that when she got that letter from Indiana I realized where Mike was

# data[].attributes.body
Katie said that she wonders if Lindbergh wishes he hadn't flown and how Hauptmann feels so I think she is showing sympathy for them.

# data[].attributes.body
The big thought I had while reading this part is how there are multiple poems in a row that have nothing to do with the trial and are just about Katie's life, which I find refreshing. It's refreshing for the reader (at least I think so) to learn more about the people close to Katie & Katie herself, instead of just focusing on the trial 24/7. I feel like this inclusion of multiple poems being simply about Katie's life might be a statement on Katie's character development, as she might be trying to avoid the trial in general as it reaches its climax. She might also just be realizing she's much more comfortable writing about herself, as more and more things happen in her own life and everything. The major question I had was this:
How does Bruno feel about the verdict?
I feel like hearing his opinion on the verdict would be incredibly beneficial for the story, but oh well. My big epiphany kind of touches on my big question. I realized that I really want to read/watch/see something that explains Bruno Hauptmann's views on this entire trial. Now that I have the perspective of the crowd and jury, now I want the perspective of the convicted criminal himself.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm happy that they gave Hauptmann another chance at a trial with actual lawyers, but I'm sad that they killed him with an electrical chair, because that's pretty cruel. A question I have is if Katie's mom and Mr. Griffin get married and if any more cases like this happened after this.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that honestly her mom has gone through a lot of stress while Katie. And she always wants her mom to relax and be happy but once her mom and Mr.Griffen are happy together, Katie feels uncomfortable. I think she feels this way because after her dad was gone her mom was one of the only people who were with her and she had all her mom's attention and doesn't want to lose it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is starting to show sympathy for the German because she is always wondering how he feels and thinks that he might not have done it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie doesn't know how to feel that her mother has a liking to Mr. Griffin, but she is getting used to it. I also think that Katie is starting to understand a little bit more information from each part of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are is that this case impacted a lot of people including Katie's mom, herself,Hauptmann family,  and Charles Lindbergh.

# data[].attributes.body
The big thought I had while reading this part is how the trial has a big impact on Katie's mom's job, as she has to tend to all the people that work for the jury when they go to the hotel. This type of thing has happened before in the book, but it really only hit me here, in this part. The big question I have is this:
What does Katie think about going back to school?
Considering she was absent from school for the entire time the trial went on, she obviously missed a good amount of work. I just wonder how she's taking the reality of going back to school. If I was her, I would be stressed out. I also wondered who Ma Barker and her family is, but I looked her up and got my answer. Finally, my epiphany. This might be the biggest epiphany I've had while reading this book. Katie always wants her mom to go on a vacation and get some rest. She always wants the best for her mom. But, when her mom starts to date Mr. Griffin and she really is happy, Katie realizes that she isn't quite so sure how she feels about it. I love how Katie phrased it here:
"I know I should be feeling like
I'm gaining a father,
but it feels more like
I'm losing my mother."
Those four lines made me realize that just because Katie is in an amazing circumstance, going to an incredibly important trial and all, she's still just as human as the rest of us, and she faces the same uncertainties that the rest of us do. Those four lines were incredibly important, in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
my thoughts are that Katie's mom is really happy with Mr. Griffin and they could get married and my questions are that did Bruno do it or not if not who and an Epiphany I have is that is that Katie is worried about her mom going out with Mr. Griffin

# data[].attributes.body
Part 3
Katie says that New Jersey is very popular and actually recognized. She also names all the new features and new inventions that developed the city. The Germans that were in this country are now scared to come out because of the trial. Katie didn’t want to miss any information that is given out, she was trying her best to get notes as fast as she could. Because of her interest in the trail she is missing out in alot  of school, she should try to do school at home and try to catch up with so school work. I like that Katie is trying to save up money for her moms vacation, that’s very generous of her.  What does Katie think of the trial? Does she think that Bruno Richard Hauptmann shouldn’t be guilty?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that katie is starting to like Mr.Griffin and her mom really likes him. I also think that katie is sad that the trail is almost over and mike is having problems at home but she just wants the best for him. I think she had that dream of her and Mr. Lindbergh because she was kind of stressed out and she was scared and maybe she thinks its scary for Mr.Lindbergh to be asked all these questions especially because his baby just died. I also think Bruno Richard Hauptmann did not hire a very good lawyer because he does not remember what he says to the judge half the time and he mumbles to himself . I also was not surprised that that he was pronounced guilty of 1st degree 🤬 and was going to go to the electric chair because using common sense skills he is the killer if Lindbergh's baby. I question i have is kind of off topic but i wonder what's going to happen to MIke? also another question is, Is katie's mom and Mr.Griffin going to get married? because i'm assuming that they are together

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is feeling more gratitude towards her school than she did before. She also feels bad that all the Germans have to suffer because of Hitler and Bruno. I also thinks that she thinks she has all of the details down, but the truth is she has more to learn,

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Katie is will miss school for 6 weeks, she will miss out on a lot of things. Though she did say that she was interested in becoming a journalist, this might be one of her best chances to show her talents. Having such a big trial in her town, she have an opportunity to learn more about journalism and be a part of the case. A few questions I have are...
1. What will happen at school when Katie is gone?
2. Will Katie be an actual part of the case?
3. Will Katie become a journalist?
The Epiphany I had was that Katie's mom was going out to watch a movie with Mr. Griffin.
Does her mom like him?
Will Katie be happy or mad at her mom if she found out her mom liked him after her dad?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is getting more curious and not tired of the case or thinking it is too hard.

# data[].attributes.body
I started wondering if Katie thinks being apart of the trial and missing 6 weeks of school is worth it now. I remember in one of the poems it said that she has been writing for hours. think that she is really interested in the trial though, and I also think that it's a great experience and that it is worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the future katie will be to far behind in school work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the biggest things is that Katie is loving the trial so much that she is forgetting her school work. Another thing i think is that along with Katie branching out so does her mom. I hope that Mr.Griffon is good for Katie's
mom.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts on Part 4 are that I am happy that Hauptmann was charged as guilty because most of the stories he told were either missing a part, or just didn't fit into the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is starting to feel sorry for Bruno Hauptman and is starting to think that he is innocent. She also feels bad for Mike and that he has a father that doesn't do anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a lot of thoughts for part 3 , my first thought being the fact that since Katie was so wrapped up with her work in the trial that she really got diconnected from her friends and her school life. I also think that Katie's mom is moving on in life but doesn't want to overwhelm Katie. Maybe that is why she didn't tell Katie about her going out with Mr. Griffon.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that part three is mostly about how Katie starting to like trials more than any other factor in her life like she has been skipping classes just to got to the trial.

# data[].attributes.body
I think part three is getting deeper into the trail. Like the first few pages have all people in the court who she saw. They way she describes things makes it sounds like things have changed since the trail and shes been working a lot on the trial. I think Katie also misses her school and her friends there. A question i have is Why are so many people afraid of Germans even if some of them are innocent? A prediction Have is that she will go and take some time off the case to catch up with her friends?

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts on part 2 are that Katie is extremely excited to go to her first trial and is excited that something exciting is finally happening in her hometown.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Katie is a little peeved that her mom is dating again another thought is that Katie feels sorry for Bruno Hauptmann my question is why does she feel sorry . Another question is why doesn't Katie's mom fire the employee for stealing instead she is rewarding him an epiphany for me is that is her mom is hard working and that is why she keeps a vacation fund

# data[].attributes.body
A few thoughts and questions I had while reading this was If her Dad was still around would that change her interest in criminology in anyway.Also why would she be counting all the famous people who are there and keeping tabs on them while they're in a very serious court case . One ephinane that I had while reading this was that maybe Katies Mom allowed Katie to go to this court case since she has dealt with a lot of pain in the past and she never got to do anything fun and the only thing she enjoyed was trying to solve court cases and mysterys.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts that the court is tense and scary as people come and tell there story's my questions are is that how could Charles Lindbergh recognize that vice form so long ago and my epiphany is that Bruno must solid evidence against him to put on trial

# data[].attributes.body
The main thought that kept popping up in my head as I read this part of the book was how Katie became so excluded from her classmates and teachers at her school, since she was skipping school to go to the trial and everything. When Katie looked through a school window and saw her classmates, I can only imagine how bummed out she must have - probably - felt. If I was in her position, even if I was having a blast at the trial and it was entirely occupying me, I would have still felt a bit somber if I saw a place that used to be entirely familiar to me. The big question I have is if Katie's views on Bruno Hauptmann and the case in general have changed. If she didn't take part in the trial, she would probably end up hearing some of the trial's details from others, but she certainly wouldn't get the bulk of the information. Considering the bulky information that's quickly speeding at her in the trial, I think her opinions probably changed, maybe even just a little bit. The big epiphany I had was how much of a major effect the trial had on the surrounding area. Mrs. Hoffmeyer had to hire an English worker and stay in the back of her own bakery just because of the unfair view of Germans that Hauptmann brought.

# data[].attributes.body
Since there was a lot of stuff about uncle Jeff's injury then I think that might be a important part of the story

# data[].attributes.body
is mike going to have an important role in the story ?

Part 2
What is going to happen to Hauptmann's family?

# data[].attributes.body
A summary of pages 40 - 46.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann is now in guilt for this case. We don't know what will happen to Bruno's wife and kids when they find out. (Bryant 40). The person in charge of finding the victim of the kidnapping of baby Lindbergh was in the hands of Colonel Schwarzkopf. He was the head of the New Jersey State Police. He had been under a lot of pressure because of this case. (Bryant 41) When Colonel met Bruno they had a conversation about the gold notes found in his garage. Bruno said that he got the money from his friend Isidor Fisch; who left for Germany and died because he felt sick (Bryant 42, 43). Baby Lindbergh was burned into ashes on the Atlantic Ocean. (Bryant 46)

My thoughts...

Katie thought that her town was boring and nothing interesting ever happened, but now because of this case there is much more crowds on the road, very loud, less space, longer lines, etc. She is confused which she likes better; her old town or her new one. I don't think that Bruno is guilty for this crime the way the conversation between him and the colonel went. It felt to me that he did not do anything bad and was telling the truth.

My questions...

1. Will anyone care about Bruno's Grave is he dies through the electric chair?

2. Does Katie want her town to be like it was before the case, or does she want it to be the same as it is when the trial was going to occur?

An epiphany I had is...

I could not believe that Baby Lindbergh was burned and his ashes were thrown onto the Atlantic Ocean. It just seems really harsh and mean to do that to the baby. I understand that he looked like he was decomposing when he was found but that does not mean you burn the baby down.

This may not happen to everyone but when it comes to babies I can’t handle it, they are so cute and I cannot imagine him being burned and his ashes being thrown into the Atlantic Ocean.

# data[].attributes.body
Part 2
Katie seems to be very interested in the trial and she doesn’t want to miss a single detail. She feels like the city developed a lot and a lot of things changed. There are more people around and the city is more popular and recognized.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that the trial means a lot to Katie and that the courtroom is very tense and scary as people coke and say their storys

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand why people think Mike is going to be such a bad person. They only think that because of his father but they don't really know him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie might have been a little nervous at first when she entered the courtroom. She was also paying attention to detail and noting everything down

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie was a bit shaky because she was scared a bit. But as soon as she started exploring her environment and paying attention to everything around, she started jotting everything down and started getting comfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Katie during the trail was very engaged and interested in it. But one thing she didn't understand was that Lucky lindy remembered the voice of Hauptmanns 3 years ago when they were delivering the money. A question I have is will get more in depth through the case and will there be another trial? I think that Katie will work on many more cases with her uncle in the future. Also in the courtroom she didnt image Hauptmann like how he was. But it was up to the people to eletricut Hauptmann alive

# data[].attributes.body
I'm wondering why Katie's mom didn't tell Katie about her going to the theater with Mr. Griffin. I think she thought that Katie would think that she likes him and that Katie would be mad that her mom liked another person after her dad left.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie's father went out and away from his family to look and find adventure, because in part one, Katie's mom said she was always adventurous like her father, so that must mean Katie got that gene from her father and that there is a resemblance between them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Katie is a good person to help Jeff on the case. She may of been a bit nervous at first but she is probably excited to do something cool and not the same thing that she's been doing everyday in Flemington. She is noticing every little detail. She's also paying attention to what's going on in the case, like how she knew what the jurors did for a living.

# data[].attributes.body
While the trial was going on, Katie was very attentive and was paying attention to even the smallest details and a lot of other things happening in the courtroom. I think that she would be an amazing professional reporter or a detective because she has the attentiveness needed to solve major crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie understands most of the case, but something  of the thing she doesn't understand is how a person could remember the same voice and what the person said 3 years ago.

# data[].attributes.body
When Katie entered the court room, she seemed to have noticed every single detail that happened. You can tell that she was very excited she go to the courtroom and witness many famous people talk about this crime. She also researched many of the facts about the case.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that at the trial Katie might get very nervous and lose all the courage and excitement she has now. I think this because she is in a new environment and we don't know what could happen. Another thing i notice is that Katie really does like this case because in her town there was mostly quietness but now with this case things got interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is very happy that she gets to do something important. It sounds like she wasn't able to roam around because her mom didn't want her to end up like her dad.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts is that Katie might solve the case since I don't think they would allow her in if she was just some girl. I think that they believed that she could figure something out since they already allowed her to read and go over some newspaper articles and she seems like and sounds like as if she is experienced with doing something like this.
-why would the police and F.B.I allow a little girl into a serious court  case ?
-why would her mom be fine with her daughter skipping school and going to a very serious court case?
-Isn't there a law a rule that doesn't allow kids into court cases that have nothing to do with them?
A epiphanie that I had was that when Mike said "I'll bet you're good at that" since he heard the entire story of what happened so I think that Katie might've solved a piece of the case otherwise Mike wouldn't have said your good at that

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie thinks that Katie does sent think about this as a case that she wants to solve just for fun anymore,she thinks that this case is offal y brutal because of the punishment and the case itself.
and she realizes that it is a life or death situation

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Katie believes that Bruno Richard Hauptmann is guilty because she thinks of Charles Lindbergh as a hero and because she thinks of him as a hero she probably dislikes Bruno Hauptmann. I also think she has doubts because someone had said they heard Bruno's voice three years ago and she wondered how anyone can remember two words "hey, doctor" for such a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie is starting to realize the brutal reality of the case. She pointed out that she kind of misses knowing everyone she sees, not getting pushed around, not having to wait for a phone line, not having to worry about everything, things like that. I think that she's realizing how big the case is and how much it can change her life as she knew it. Currently, the main question I have is how Katie feels about all the details of the case she's receiving. Some of them are pretty brutal, so I just wonder how she's taking all of it. I also wonder what her personal views on the case are. Since I think that she's mainly only going to write about the actual case and the facts from this point in the book forward, I doubt that she's going to reveal how she personally thinks of everything. Because of that, I kind of created my own theory. I think that she thinks that she doesn't really have the time to think about her own feelings, since it's the first time her life has been so exciting. I think she thinks that she has to focus on the facts themselves and not what she thinks. A realization I had is the massive bias seemingly everyone in the book has for Charles Lindbergh. That seems to me like a relatively unfair court case if essentially everyone loves the man.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Katie would really love to explore that world and doesn't like to stay in one place. If she does stay, she wants to to be thrilling for her.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that Katie, who is our narrator, is very interested in journalism and interesting things that are happening around her town of Flemmington. The case with Charles Lindbergh has been going on for a while now, when she finds out that their is a trial happening in her town, she is very excited. Also, as said in the beginning she only has mother, not a father. The book doesn't tell us why or how. I have a few questions...
1. How and why did Katie's dad die/leave?
2. How will Katie be related to the Charles Lindbergh case?
3. What actually happened to Charles Lindbergh Jr.?
4. Who were actual victims of this case?
A realization/AHA/epiphany that I had was that Katie's mom called her like her dad. She also said that Katie is "restless." I think that Katie does not want to stay in this small area, she wants to explore. Her dad might have left/died for the same reason.

i think that since Katie is really good in English and her uncle is a reporter, she has a good chance on becoming a reporter.

My thoughts are that Katie is interested in the Charles Lindbergh case because his son is missing and her dad left them. So i'm thinking she kinda wants to find her dad by becoming a reporter.

My thoughts I had when reading this book was, How come she is so attached to learning and seeing more in this world.I also wonder I should've felt if she was living and was with us right now. Some questions I had while reading this is
-How come Katie isn't like other people?
-Why was she so attached to seeing the world?
-What happened to her other relatives
I head an epiphanie when they said that she was unlike other girls and she went to a newspaper place and the title is called the trial so I believe that she might be the news reporter for this trial and might possibly solve the c

My thoughts are that Katie is so happy that her mom said yes to work on the case with her uncle and I also think that her mom doesn't like her dad because it sounds like he was kind of like Katie he wanted to explore and got out. I also think that Katie feels like trapped in her small town because she has all these postcards from other places and always wishes of going there. I have a question why did her dad leave them? And I think that she might find the kidnapper.

Katie said that nothing ever happens in Flemigton so my thoughts are that Katie was really exited to be a part of the case since she had been looking into the case and what happened.

Part 2
I think Katie is starting to understand how real and brutal the case is.

Uncle Jeff is making a great decision on letting Katie be apart of the case. Katie is bored and needs more challenges, like her report cards said. She has probably done everything to do in the little small town that she is restricted to and there is nothing left. It really is boring doing the same things everyday. When I go to the Philippines, I love it, but all of my cousins say that they're bored and they would love to come to America. Katie needs to do something new and exciting where she can use her brain, and the case is exactly that.

My thoughts are that uncle Jeff made the right decision by letting Katie be part of the Lindbergh Case, Also My question is why did they do the case in Flemington and not in Hopewell?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Katie's mom hates Katie's dad because he left them i also think that the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh was a big thing my questions are what is with that note why couldn't Katie's mom just tell her. An epiphany I had was that why Katie's dad left probably to explore the world

I think that uncle Jeff wok in his office and for the newspaper is a great way for Katie to know way more about the case and the trial that would take place. She might even be able to figure out who the kidnappper

Part 1
I think that because Katie is interested in being a reporter and her uncle is a reporter, she has an advantage and it is much more easier for her to learn about the case. Also cause she seems to be very interested in mysteries and just Crimes in general. My Question for chapter is why Katie's dad actually left her family? Did he want more excitement in his life?

# data[].attributes.body
Some of my questions are, why does Uncle Jeff call Katie, "Kay-Dee?" Is there a special meaning to it? My thoughts are, Katie really enjoys working for Democrat, and  think that Mike an Katie could solve the case together (or try to).

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are that since Katie wants to be reporter so much she might love this work more then Uncle Jeff. I also love how Katie want's to explore the world and maybe that's why she is so obsessed with finding out the truth about the kidnapping.

# data[].attributes.body
My question in this part is why did Katie's dad leave her and her mom and why does Katie's mom only have one picture of her dad, because they would have taken more pictures when they were together. Maybe Katie's dad was a bad person who did something really bad?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Uncle Jeff letting Katie be part of the big case was one of the most exciting parts of her life not just for that time, but in general.  She made it clear that she was quite bored of her incredibly simple and peaceful life, but she didn't really ever wish for something as big as the kidnapping to happen to spice things up, so it was probably really overwhelming (in a good way, probably) for her. I have one big question that I have a good feeling won't really be answered in the way I want it to... why did Katie's father leave? She made it clear that she thinks about him a lot, but she hasn't written down any reasons for him leaving yet. Maybe she doesn't even know. One of my epiphanies was Katie writing the whole situation of the ransom and the finding of the baby's corpse down.  I didn't know the information she gave before and I pieced all of the information that she gave and the info that I knew from beforehand together, giving myself satisfying closure on the whole case.
