#2-Marci’s twin brother
What Marci said that proved she did not have a twin brother
In my book, I asked you to figure something out. Here’s what I wrote:
Once I started writing this story, I realized I should’ve known a lot sooner that Marci didn’t have a brother. Earlier in the summer she had said something that proved she was an only child, but I didn’t catch it. Did you? The answer is on my website.
Did you figure it out? If not, read this. It’s from page 36.
“This is Marci’s first year at camp. She’s from New York City,” Lana said.
“It’s called the Big Apple,” Marci explained.
I knew that.
“You’re Georgie, right?”
Georgie nodded.
Marci stuck out her hand. Georgie looked at me, then sort of extended his hand. Marci shook it vigorously. She talked fast.
“Lana told me a lot about you, Georgie. You live with your dad, and you want to be a cartoonist or a Navy jet pilot. Me? I live with my mom. She’s a pediatrician. That’s what I want to be, too. I like cartoons. I don’t know much about jet planes.”
The answer is in there. Think about it before you read ahead.
Ready for my answer?
Here’s the way I determined Marci had lied about having a twin brother. She’d said, “I live with my mom.”
If she lived with both parents, she would’ve mentioned her dad. And if she had a twin brother, don’t you think she would’ve mentioned that?! Of course, if her parents were divorced, her twin brother Marcus could’ve lived with Marci’s dad, but I figured twins almost always stay together no matter what, so I just took a chance.
Any comment?
I got! “This is marci’s first year at camp”
I am your father Cheesie as father and son we can rule the galaxy.
You’ve been watching too much “Star Wars.”
I had the same explanation for my self.
I love Love love your books! I wish I was a great writer like you. My teacher says I write real well, but I don’t think I can even write a 3 page whatever, without taking a 10 minute break!!!!! And you are totally great at solving problems!
Thanks.The way to get better at writing is to write MORE. Keep at it.
ok sorry took so long to reply 😉
If a person acts overly enthusiastic about something, it usually means they’re lying or trying to cover up something.
Could be, but not always.
I meet the author
Do you remember Ashley river creative arts?
Of course! In SC.
YOur good at solving. I sometimes set up a little meeting to decide who is at fault.
do you remember going to brier glen school 5th grade
also my mom knew she did not have a twin brother but i did not belive her at first
Of course I remember Briar Glen. Cool School.
I think she was writing in a digital diary or something…
That’s interesting. I never thought of that.
I am reading our first book right now! It’ s pretty good!☺
I think twins are so annoying. when we play together they also got each other’s back.I love your books
Thanks, Tina!
yeah, I love your books too! (of course XD)
Thanks, Rache!
Hi steve cotler I think that your books are great. I have all your books. Do you remember when you came to my class, ms tamars 4th grade? Ocean Charter School?
Of course I remember! We were in the classroom.
Do u remember me ms.landrum 5th
Wow I love your books! I am an avid (cool word right!) reader, and I love love love books! Can’t wait to read your other books.
P.S I don’t think twins always stick together. I mean it must get annoying, like you and June/Goon, they’re still siblings.
🙂
Good point about twins.
you are hallariuous (think i spelled it wrong) I have only read book 2 but you are very COOL!!!!!!!!!
Your spelling of hilarious was he-larry-us!
Thanks for the nice comment, Thomas.
Another thing that you can tell that she doesn’t have another sibling is that she talks about her mom and no one else.
THat’s an interesting thought…
You are hilarious!!!!!!!!
Tsk tsk tsk
It was obvious from the beginning because sisters don’t usually like their brothers to do that.
FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Vivi!
