Secrets In Between The Lines

"Kerry felt wonderful. The sun beat down, making him feel warm and comfortable all over"(82).

When Kerry dreams it is like his way of running away from trouble of any kind. The imagery Stine applies makes me imagine how hard it was for Kerry believe that for all this time, his best friend, his protector was gone. He feels safe in his imagination. However, Why would his dad hid the fact that Donald was alive? Why wouldn't it be "safe" for him to know where his brother was?

"His father's voice floated nearby, then drifed away as Kerry's own thoughts broke into his counciosness"(91).

This tale is full emotion and sacrifice. Lt. Hart has been acting strange lately but it turns out that he was just trying to help and protect his son. Donald has been missing for a year according to Kerry, but just thinking that his brother is still alive, made him remeber how much he has relied on him. How much he had missed him. Did he feel mad/ Dissapointed? Or just relieve?

Final Thoughts

I just can't believe that for all this time his family made him feel all this pain. Why woud Lt. Hart protect Kerry from his own brother? Is he dangerous? I just want to find more answers to the questions that are swirling in my head. I really hope that Mandy won't break Kerry's heart, that she isn't mad at all. Kerry has been through so much which reminds me of Callie of the previous book I was sucked into. I am enthusiastic about the next few pages I will read.
