The ending made me think of Captain America in Avengers Endgame. I love that Dally can still fulfill her purpose for the library but also got to live a life of adventure, got to grow old with grandpa, AND still has a chance at a healthier relationship with mom. #ppspdspot

There was a perfect balance between tiny breadcrumbs left to help my brain make predictions but also so many beautiful surprises in the way the story came to a close! I love the ending for more reasons than I can count! #ppspdspot

What a fun twist that Jack is secret reading too…I hope we find out more about why/how they’re traveling together! Could he also be a part of her family secrets? #ppspdspot

I am loving the repeated visits to Pete and Eli! I’m with Dally though, I wish we could know what happened when the new crew tried to sail back to the island! #ppspdspot

Agreed. It makes me wonder which of our students are needing this kind of connection to feel less alone. #ppspdspot

It’s also interesting how her current experiences in the past affect her present, like the treasure map which had been there all along! #ppspdspot

It’s such an interesting thing to reflect on. Sometimes processing our feelings/“secrets” out loud to those we love is so challenging, but imagine the positive impact it could have on our relationships! #ppspdspot

So much of this resonated with me and helps me to see the changes in my sibling relationship over these varying stages of life differently and with compassion for my sibling AND for myself! #ppspdspot

As an adult navigating the ever changing dynamics of a close relationship with a sibling over many phases of life, I felt such joy, nostalgia, and bittersweet feelings as Morgan and Claire’s story came to an “end” and began a new chapter. #ppspdspot

[Emily Reeg @MsReegJP]

When Morgan says he never told Claire about how much he didn’t like it when the code started to change because it would hurt too much, I wonder if he meant it would hurt her too much to hear or him too much to say? #ppspdspot

[Emily Reeg @MsReegJP]

I was struck by this statement on pg. 119, in response to Claire saying, “big step.” Morgan thinks, “And it is. Because her legs are so much longer than mine. For me, every step is bigger.”
Morgan is being forced to take so many steps that are big in his family. #ppspdspot

Claire has to know more than we’re learning from Morgan’s perspective. I can’t imagine her taking him away in the night just based on what we know so far. 🧐 #ppspdspot

He shares that Claire sees the idea that he sees things for what they could be rather than what they are as a strength. He doesn’t seem to feel that his mom sees that strength in him. #ppspdspot

Which also makes me wonder more about those happier memories y’all mentioned previously (and how they seem to only be shared with Claire and Dad). 🤔 #ppspdspot

As an adult, I still feel it challenging to break those habits and behaviors. I feel especially sad for Morgan in the way it seems to totally contrast with his feelings in his flashbacks. At one point even expressing, “I got to be her somebody.” #ppspdspot

I’d like to nominate @chrissyteigen to be the new Pat Sajak, and @johnlegend to be the new Vanna White…who’s with me??
