Hi, Janica,

Most of my response is contained in J.R.’s posting, but I really only have 2 words in my defence of Noah: Elon Musk. 

As for poor Hector, I may have messed up the relationship between him and Malik since you didn’t seem to see it. Malik adored Hector, even though he treated him like a flunkey. And Hector worshipped Malik. I meant it to be symbiotic, and it’s my bad if it didn’t come across that way.

And thank you, JR, for that spirited defence! With beans!                                               —–Gordon Korman—–
