It came into focus. It was the letter M. It shimmered in the sunlight.

Discussion Questions
- Annie shows Jack an M shimmering on the treehouse floor. The same M is on the medallion and the bookmark. What does the M on the floor tell us about the treehouse?
- Jack heard a sound in the bushes and called out 'Who's there?' He told the unseen M that he would bring everything back. Was that the right thing to say? What in the story makes you think so?
