Chapter 14 Summary

Bob explains how he and Livy sneak past Gran—who is on the phone with the bank once again—as they enter the house and open the jar. Livy struggles with it for a while but finally opens it to reveal two pieces of licorice and a photo of herself reading a book upside down. While Bob eats the licorice, Livy ponders the photo.

She discerns that the book (which is upside down) in the photo is titled Fairy and Folk Tales From A to Z. The cover of the book features several creatures, one who resembles Bob. Livy is certain that this book will explain who Bob is. She attempts to locate the book but cannot; Bob knows that this is the book that Sarah has taken. Before he can tell Livy this, however, Gran tells Livy that they must leave. Livy hurries off, leaving Bob alone to eat a snack and plan the next step.

Chapter 15 Summary
