2. Is Annabel's mother partly to blame for Annabel's insecurity? Why do you think they communicate so poorly?

3. What prevents Annabel from realizing that her brother is really fond of her, and why does he irritate her so much?

Does her impatience with him make the reader less sympathetic with Annabel herself?

4. Is Annabel justified in firing Mrs. Schmauss? Why or why not?

5. Boris seems almost too good to be true. Is he a convincing character?

6. The author portrays the police, the school principal, and the psychologist as lacking in ordinary common sense.
