does anybody else think that 'the world is quiet here has anything to do with libraries? i mean, they're quiet places, right? there also seems to be one in each book:
TBB-justice strauss's
TRR-uncle montys
TWW- the grammer one of josephine
TMM- the one with 3 books in it (in the mill)
TAA- school lending library
TEE- the 'in' library of esme&jerome
TVV- the secret library in hectors backyard
THH- the library of records
TCC- olivia's archival library
TSS- the burnt VFD library

Don't forget the librarian in LSTUA who asks if you've been good to your mother.

Duncan and Isadora didn't mention escaping the fire in TAA, only that the fire killed their parents and their brother. Maybe they weren't home that day? Or they were in a front room?

Um...that reminds me too much of a cheap action movie. Yeah, probably not home.

ya i just read the part. unless quigley was lying. also, do you really think ducan & isadora would just leave thier brother to study his maps while they do something supposedly fun? that seems kind of mean.

That's what I get for supposing without the book to hand instead of reading the source material.  TSS, page 159, does indeed say that Quigley was studying a map of the Finite Forest, heard glass shatter, people shouted, mom came in to get Quigley, they couldn't get out, mom puts him through the trap door, he listens to the house falling to pieces, frantic footsteps, and the screams of his siblings. TSS, page 239, is where Quigley says "I never thought of learning about maps as training. I just liked it." So yes, I do think Duncan and Isadora would leave Quigley to his fun while they did something else. |

He was studying his maps, so maybe isadora was with her poetry teacher, and duncan was...researching?
