Key Questions

What does this reveal about Maddie? Is this the same or different from earlier in the story?

  • How does Peggy respond when they can’t find Wanda? What does this reveal about Peggy?

  • After visiting the Petronski house, Maddie can’t sleep at night. Why?

  • How has Maddie changed from the beginning of the story? Why has she changed?
