Post Discussions If Reynie were too not pass the test part 2, what do you think would have happened next in the book? ~ Alicia

Alicia I think that Reynie would of come up with some way to help someone, like the pencil woman and she would let him move on to the next test. ~Amanda

If Kate didnt have her bucket, what would she be like? - Renee

Definitly different! I don't know... Less capable? -Molly

Does anyone know where to find 'vexed' in the book? (In the chapters we already read?) -Molly Bring this up during our discussion Molly.

I was wondering, when does this book take place? Reynie grew up in an orphanage, which don't exist anymore, but there are cell phones.-Ryan

Ryan, the book was written in 2007, so they might still have orphanages then. ~Amanda

What if the messages really did occur to us, speaking in real life, what would happen? ~Amanda I think that everyone would hear it and then forget about it like all of the other messages. ~ Ian

I feel soooo bad for Sticky and Mulligan! Why did the author make the children orphans or runaways... and i think the staff are either of those things as well. >Miranda

If one of the children could hear the messages, who do you think it would be? I think it would be Constance because she's different from the rest of the children. ~Amanda

I think that Sticky might become a Messenger because he is extremely smart. ~Amanda

If Kate's parents didn't leave her, do you think she would have the same attitude? What about the other three? ~Amanda

What do you think happened to Constance's parents? ~ Amanda

Isn't it odd that the executives always want the television to be on? ~Amanda

Amanda, I agree that it's weird that the Executives always want the T.V to be on because you would think that the kids at the Institute don't have time to watch T.V with all the studying they do like Sticky. ~ Alicia

Something weired is going on at the island, and I agree with Mrs. C, everything is backwards, but why?

This whole Institute seems mysterious... Why do you think Constance is so tired? Do you think the Institute has something to do with it and/or has an evil-ish purpose? -Molly

Molly, I do wonder why Constance is so tired, but I never knew a complete answer. I do agree the Institute has an evil~ish purpose behind it. ~Amanda

I think that Constance was put on the team because she could understand the messages... the messages may provide clues. >Miranda

I cant find the word "ominous" in the book... can somebody tell me where it is? >Miranda

You can tell Mr.Curtain has been planning this for years.... but why? Is he against Mr. Benedict.... Does he know he's his twin.... If so, what would he do if he found out the kids were working for Mr. Benedict? >Miranda

Miranda, I've been wondering the same thing, does Mr.Curtain know about Mr.Benedict? I think he doesn't, but I'm guessing they will meet each other eventually. I still don't get why Mr.Curtain wants everyone to be under his control. ~Kaiti

I wonder why Mr. Curtain really wants to take over the world-Ryan Maybe is his past life he wasn't so powerful, so now this is his chance to have power. ~Amanda

I think it might be because he was an orphan, always treated bad. We don't know if he was treated bad though. ~Amanda
