Five Questions About The Perhapanauts: Danger Down Under #2

Alright, so this one’s a drive-by, but we wanted to get a little information out there about December’s issue of The Perhapanauts: Danger Down Under. Some further analysis of the issue will come attached to the commentary for #3, as the holidays and their attendant planning really screwed us all up.As ever, remember that these commentaries are spoiler-filled territory. Why not buy a copy of the book and read along with us?Did Big just not think about telling Molly or the rest of the group ahead of time about his…ahem…strategic move here at the beginning? With half the team missing, it seems like emotions would be running pretty high and you could probably expect that reaction, or something like it.As the gang had only recently arrived in Australia, I think Big was hoping that Choopie would be fully recovered and able to run as tracker. I honestly think bringing Sampaquita was a last minute, almost reluctant, thing…Is Sara Vera another character named after somebody? (Because I know a person named “Sarah Mara” and I thought only her parents were that mean.) Sara Vera is not named after anyone. I just liked the sound of her having these two first names that everyone refers to her by.
