My comments on Chapter 23 (Reef):

> “…I’m stuck with Theo…” – Oh, Reef, you are hurting! A friend is thrust upon you and you can’t even see it.

> The description of how Reef and Theo think the lightning electrified the bassinet of their shared incubator is pretty weird science. Love it! I remember as a 9- or 10-year-old taking apart an old radio and randomly rewiring pieces from other salvaged electronics, sure I was going to get a signal from outer space. The mind of a young boy is open to the powers of electronics, for sure.

> Again, Reef is *such* a nice guy when Declan is acting like *such* a jerk, and even still, Reef promises again to help him out. 

> “Tomorrow night.” – Declan’s got one day before he goes from kid in trouble to true juvenile delinquent. The clock is ticking!

@Jade: Lightning! Back to the Future! The Change-Up! Nine Lives! MIXED UP has such a cool setup for the lightning strike with two newborn babies!

@William Moyer: RESTART is a wonderful book! Hope you find what you need on it and then read MIXED UP when you’re done.
