Favourite quotes:

“Look, the point is, I have to go in. I’ll find the workshop and stop Luke. And … I need help.” She turned to me. “Will you come?”
I didn’t even hesitate. “I’m in.”


Part of me was impressed with her for standing up like that. But part of me thought her pride was going to get us killed.


Her eyes were puffy from crying, but she managed to say, “He was probably the bravest friend I’ve ever had. He …” Then she saw me. Her face went blood red. “He’s right there!”


“This might be it,” she said.
“Could be.”
“Nice fighting with you, Seaweed Brain.”
“Ditto.”


Nico hesitated. “I don’t play that game anymore. It’s for kids.”
“It’s got four thousand attack power,” I coaxed.
“Five thousand,” Nico corrected. “But only if your opponent attacks first.”
I smiled. “Maybe it’s okay to still be a kid once in a while.”
