Quote #7
Blue had never been a fan of the attic, even before Neeve moved in. Numerous slanting roof lines provided dozens of opportunities to hit your head on a sloping ceiling. Unfinished wood floorboards and areas patched with prickly plywood were unfriendly to bare feet. Summer turned the attic into an inferno. (34.1)
Even though Blue is pretty comfortable in her own house (after all, it's the only home she's ever known), there are still places that make her feel… off. Of course creepy Aunt Neeve's room in the attic would be one of these spots.
Quote #8
"Didn't you feel that place? Do you want it destroyed? How many people do you want tramping through it? Does it seem like a place that can exist full of tourists? It's… holy." (35.46)
As the reigning psychics in Henrietta, Blue's mom and aunts are determined to keep its magical secrets safe. After all, this is their hometown and they're not going to let it be trampled through by tourists like some kind of magical Disneyland.
Quote #9
So they drove in silence to get Adam's things, and when they left the trailer park for the last time, his mother watching from behind the kitchen window, Adam didn't look back. (38.44)
And so it ends like this. Adam knows that once he leaves his parents' trailer, he can never come back. They're not exactly the kind of parents who will welcome him home with open arms.
