Chapter 13 Summary

Poppy leads the trio into East Liverpool, where they find a diner to eat at. The woman behind the register asks if they’d like a table for four, which confuses the friends. Zach wonders if the woman can see Eleanor, like Tinshoe and the donut shop owner had. At the diner, Zach notices the doll in strange positions, as if mimicking Poppy’s movements. The friends decide to catch the next bus home tomorrow and finish the quest that night by going to the cemetery and digging a grave for the Queen. They head to the nearby library in search of a detailed map that can lead them to Spring Grove Cemetery, but they find it closed for the weekend. Alice makes her first active contribution to the quest by sneaking into the library through a basement window. At the library, the friends locate a map. They plan to leave later in the evening, but they all fall asleep.

Chapter 14 Summary

The friends are woken the next morning by the quirky librarian, Miss Katherine, who pulls them into the library office one by one to call their parents. While waiting their turns, Zach, Poppy, and Alice have a heart-to-heart about their fears of growing up and growing apart from each other and decide to finish this one last quest.
