3. Which of the following did Mrs. Nesbitt leave at her house after she died?

Answer: food and water

She starved herself so that Miranda and her family would hopefully have enough supplies to last. She also left Miranda and her mother certain pieces of jewelry and Matt and Jonny got some paintings. There was also gas in her car so Miranda could drive everything to her own house.
4. How did Miranda's family get wood during the winter?

Answer: the children chopped it

The kids took turns working out there even through all the ash. Miranda mostly gathered kindling. Matt and Jonny eventually got too weak to swing the axe and after snow fell, they had to stop. They had filled the entire dining room with wood before they stopped.
5. Who did Miranda see while skating at the lake?

Answer: Brandon

Brandon is the famous skater that took lessons at the skating rink Miranda used to go to. They ended up skating together at the lake for a while. Miranda couldn't go back the next day because her mom sprained her ankle again. Miranda can't believe that she skated with Brandon, so she tells herself that she imagined it.

Answer: Dan

Dan and Miranda were on the swim team together and spent the summer swimming at the lake. While at the lake, Dan tells her that if everything was normal, he would have asked her to the prom.

10. What did Miranda get in trouble for eating?

Answer: chocolate chips

Her mom was saving them for Matt's birthday and Miranda ate them without asking. Miranda accidentally spilled most of the bag on the floor when she and her mom were arguing, and instead of throwing them away or saving them, her mother made her eat the whole bag.
