Here are a few questions to think about as you read. Comment here with your thoughts about the book and these questions...
 
 
1. What do you think the weather signifies in this book? How does it help you understand what is going on in the book at that time?
 
 
2. What does the message on the DVD refer to and how does it play out in the rest of the book? If you found a DVD at a party would you handle it as these characters did?

1. How does Jack differ from the other time ripples Emerson sees? Why does she choose to keep him a secret from the other members of the Hourglass?
