---> Dear Charles, Since I've become ill, I've learned that our greatest treasures on earth are the people we love. I've also learned my books are important to me not because they are rare but because of the rare knowledge inside them. I therefore plan to sell all my first editions so that I may leave a legacy for you and our beloved nephews to enjoy. If you are reading this, it means that I have not had time to complete my plan while I'm alive. I ask that you continue it after I'm gone. I love you, my dearest Charles, and I always will, even from beyond the grave. My hope is that you and Henry and Ian...

---> I don't really believe that life always works out happily like fairy tales do....and the wishes-come-true and the happy endings aren't the only reasons I like fairy tales. I like them because they show that no matter what happens to us, it's how we act along the way that matters. We still get to choose what kind of people we want to be. And, well, I guess I'd rather be foolish but hopeful about people than smart but stingy and distrustful.

---> To my dear friend Molly, I'm sorry I didn't get to say good-bye to you. Max came home last night. We were so excited! But then the FBI agents came back, too. They ransacked the house again. They said they still suspected Papa and Max were aiding the Germans. Oh, Molly, I was so scared. Then I thought of how brave you were. I told the agents that Mr. Kay was the Silver Shirt, not Max and Papa. The FBI agents left. But they warned us they would return. Papa said that he and Max were not safe anymore in Weston. Papa said they needed to leave. Mama said that we would all go. We packed quickly. We closed up the house. We are driving far away to stay with friends. I am giving you the address of where we are going. Keep it a secret! I will understand if you do not write to me. America is at war, and the FBI thinks my family is the enemy. I hope, dear Molly, that you will still think of me as a friend. Love Anna Schulz. P.S. I will wear your Camp Gowonagin cap every day.
---> Dear Anna, I am so sorry I didn't get to say good-bye to you, too. My aunt tried to explain to why the FBI agents still suspect your family. I don't understand it all, but I do know that I will always be your friend. Try not to be too scared while you are away. As soon as this war is over, you will come home! And try not to be too homesick for your farm. When I was homesick at Camp Gowonagin, my mother would send me a hug in a letter. So look carefully inside this envelope because there is a hug for you. Love, Molly [=McIntire=]. P.S. Please write back. P.P.S. Your secret is safe with me. P.P.P.S. Every time you wear my cap, think of me. I'll be thinking of you, my forever friend!

* On the day of the Challenger destruction, Courtney goes up to bed and hears her stepsister Tina crying. At this point Tina has been hot and cold to her, mean at times and insulting Courtney behind her back and to her face, and Courtney doesn't feel close to her. Courtney still asks what's wrong, comes down from the top bunk to see, and listens as Tina confesses why she's upset. Hearing of death reminds Tina of her late mother, Bonnie. She pours out about her and confesses that she has had mixed angry and sad emotions seeing Courtney have tender moments with her mother, the aches of her own mother being gone (and how it didn't feel real until her father married Courtney's mother) and not feeling part of the family. Courtney and Tina become much closer after their night talking together.
* Tina giving Courtney her favorite hot pink scrunchie for good luck before her Dream Big presentation--especially because at the start of the book, she was angry that Courtney had taken it without permission.
