"Brilliant through all that blackness, his white teeth were displayed in his usual wide, contagious grin." This sentence has so much good stuff in it!
All of the references to the games kids play in this are so full of nostalgia and joy :) 'The Case of the Missing Ties'!!!
I never thought about how Adam might worry about his friends remembering that he tried to control them...that worry that they might not want to be friends with him anymore. That's heartbreaking.
Oh, I bet Adam LOVED Spiderman :)
Aw I love Agnes! At first when you mentioned her I thought the OLD Agnes was making an appearance, like she had in Shadwell's dream XD Nice parallel!
THE LAST SENTENCE!!!!!! Oh man, I'm gonna want to quote that so often.
I LOVE what all the kids are planning to do! They're subverting the horsepersons they were associated with at the time :D And I also love that they all thought it had been a game they'd played as kids. All of the Them are so great in this! And I hope Wensley gets to see those whales someday ;)
