Discussion Guidelines

  • Please blur/hide any major events in the current week’s pages (however early they occur), like so:

  • (that’s [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]).

  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or anything else related to the book — ask! There’s no need to be shy. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

This chapter was a little spooky! :comet: But let’s see what everyone observes at the observatory. :star: I liked the interactions between all the characters here, and how Moominmama convinced them to go by saying that they would stop her from worrying (when really she was stopping them from worrying).

Yea this guy is next level. I thought I had the translation wrong!

I can imagine I might be a bit freaked out if I woke up and everything was grey, but throwing sandwiches is too far.
