And They Were Gone discussion

I really like these books, but I don't think they were thought through very carefully. There are some kind of disconnected things that just bother me. For example, why doesn't Finn have a little sister in the first one when he does in the other two? Also at one point Maybeck says that his little sister is really annoying, and then it also says that Maybeck is an only child. What is it with these little sisters? Now you see them, now you don't!!

have not read it.

Well, you should!!!!!!!!

Little sisters are just wierd like that.

It also bothered me that Jess' name keeps switching between Jez and Jess. I mean, through the entire second book she's Jez, and then all the sudden in the third book, she's Jess! What's up with that?

idk. and by the way, what did you mean when you said, "Little sisters are just wierd like that." ? I don't flicker in and out of existence!

no idea what you are talking about.

Well, when Jess was put under a spell by Maleficent her name turned into Jez(because Jez seems more evil sounding to me.) And uhhh yeah. ANd I didn't notice the little sister thing. And I'm a little sister and I don't flicker in and out of existense.

I don't mean flickering in and out of existence, I mean that each little sister has her own unique brand of weirdnes, and it's not their fault they happen to have some that flicker in and out. And I think Allie is right about the Jez/Jess thing. I already tried to explain it to Jessica, but she doesn't listen to me.

But she is not under Maleficent's spell in the second one! I clearly remember her saying at the end of the first one that her name was Jess. And what is she called throughout the entire second book? Jez. It makes no sense!

Tell me exactly what part that was in.

And I'm not that wierd. Older sisters, now those people are wierd.:D And since I have no older brother and or younger one I cannot judge them as wierd just 'cuz there brothers.

Trust me, brothers are as weird as you can get.

Right after Finn defeats Maleficent at the end of the first book, Jez's hair and skin changes color and Amanda calls her Jess. (Another discontinuity: In this part they are described as looking like identical twins, yet in the second book it says they are not related at all. And in the third one she is again described as pale-skinned)

I mean in the second book. In the first book I think Jez sounds a bit more malovent than Jess.

So why does it still call her Jez in the second one when she is clearly good? (Yes, I am being nitpicky, but it is so annoying!)

I don't know why we are talking about this because, well, Jessica is never going to be satisfied.

Arrrgh!*waves sword and points it at Ridley Pearson*

Double Arrgh! *catches random light saber that falls out of the sky and points it at Ridley Pearson*

Triple aargh!*grabs ninja star from belt and throws it at Ridley Pearson, missing by a millimeter*

*Takes cactapus from pocket and throws it at Ridley Pearson's head*

Cactapus?

*grabs really sharp paper clip and throws it at Ridley Pearson*

A cactapus is part cactus and part octopus. Apparently Jessica's math teacher has one on his desktop.

I thought it was part cacti and part platypus

That wouldn't be quite as cool.

yes it would

But Mr. Pfiefer doesn't have a picture of a part cactus, part playpus on his desktop. Plus, I would call that a platycactupus.

fine

I think Ridley Pearson has been sufficiently punished for randomly appearing and disappearing little sisters and name changing. Even if it doesn't know it. So, what do you think of Finn as a main character?

Well, sorry if I don't have Pfiefer.

I LOVE FINN! He's soooooooooo awesome!

It is Mr. Pfeifer who has a cactapus. Mrs. Pfeifer has a random dude yelling. And I think Finn is awesome too and he must be atleast somewhat cute because all the girls like him at one point.

Plus, he's the most popular Kingdom Keeper. And why else would a girl have a poster of him in her room?

(I'm still disappointed that the book ended before the scene where he meets her. That could've been so funny!)

I know! I think he might look like a certain boy at school I know. I think Allie knows who I'm talking about.

He is supposed to have dark hair, right? Or is that just on the covers?

Yeah, I think he's supposed to be dark.
