  7. Dear Gage,

    What is the 'good stuff' of the book?

    I like the idea that there are little people living under the floorboards of a house! I wonder what that would be like. I wonder if they would have hide from the rats and mice! Eww.

  9. i think the problem is that pod was spotted by a boy but i don't think it's to serious yet because the boy dosn't seem like a big threat.
