today i was continuing my book chasing Brooklyn. I am on page 200 and I really enjoy this book so far. it started out pretty slow but once it got through filling you in on the background then it picked up. today i read about how Nico is starting to notice weird things happen in his room, like this book called a cry for help is being moved around his room. sometimes he will wake up with the book lying right next to him. he is starting to figure that Brooklyn is in trouble and Lucca is trying to tell him about it. my predictions for this book are that lucca is going to give more hints to Nico about Brooklyn being in trouble. then Brooklyn and Nico are going to begin to be better friends and perhaps fall in love.
