I think a lot happened in this section of the book. This has to be my favorite portion of the book so far. One of the coolest parts of chapter 13 was when Franny told Opal the story about the Littmus Lozenge. I thought this was a really touching story and it showed dedication to how if you really try at something, it just might happen. When the girls tried the lozenge, Amanda mentioned that it made her miss Carson. This also made me wonder...who is Carson? I wonder if there's even a candy that can make you feel all these emotions? If so, I think I'd rather eat some chocolate...
Opal later finds out that Carson was Amanda's little brother. I like how Opal cares for others and no matter how they have treated her, she manages to see the good in them and forgive them. Opal also has the most incredible outlook on life at such a young age! For example, she says, "I lay there and thought how life was like a Littmus Lozenge, how the sweet and sad were all mixed up together and how it was hard to seperate them out." pg. 126. I don't even really look at life like that. Crazy...
While reading to Gloria, Opal decided she wants to plan a party. I think that was such a cool idea! She always seems to be that outgoing spirit that lights up the room. She is so innocent and always looks for the good in people or how she can bring out the good in them. I like her!

I also liked the part of the candy the Littmus Lozenge, a candy that taste sweet but at the same time make you feel sorrow. If there was such a candy, I would definitely try it. The part where Amanda misses her brother Carson, made me cry because it brought me memories of my sister and brother who past away.
