Short Answer
1. Explain what happened to Jessica after she saved the world from the Long Midnight.
Answer: She got permanently stuck in the Blue Time, existing no other time of the day.
2. How did Beth constantly get in the way of the Midnighters' plans?
Answer: She was too nosy, hanging around Jessica right before Midnight came. She became friends with Cassie after Cassie was saved from Midnight. Also, Beth ran away right before the Long Midnight.
3. How was Rex changed after he became a halfling?
Answer: His eyesight got much better, along with his other senses. He could talk to the Darklings; they accepted him as one of their own. Also, his personality became much darker and sporatic, and he thought like a predator with humans as his prey.
4. How were the Midnighters going to save the world before Jessica discovered she could herself?
Answer: They were simply going to protect the civilians from the Darklings, using a bomb to wake them all up and fireworks and fire to keep the Darklings away, until the Long Midnight ended.
5. How was Beth becoming friends with Cassie a problem?
Answer: Because when Beth brought Cassie home, Cassie still recognized Jessica from Midnight even after Melissa had erased her memory, because she had drawn pictures of everything she had seen, including Jessica.
6. How did Rex know that Jessica could save them all?
Answer: He remembered it from the memories the Darklings had given him. It had been Jessica the Darklings were fearing the entire time, and when Rex saw the frozen lightning bolt, he knew why.
7. Why was Jonathon slightly excited by the idea of it always being Midnight even when it meant the death of millions?
Answer: Jonathon hated being stuck in normal time, in "Flatland", because he couldn't fly then. If he had it his way, he could fly all the time.
8. Why was Dess much more useful than the other Midnighters when it came to understanding the mechanics of Midnight?
Answer: Because Dess, being a Polymath, saw and understood things in numbers. And the Blue Time was all about numbers, like the coordinated of its boundaries.
9. Why did the Midnighters refer to Midnight as "the Blue Time"?
Answer: Because during Midnight, the dark Midnight sun turned every single thing a blue color.
10. Why were Melissa, Dess, Jonathon, and Jessica leaving Bixby?
Answer: Because the Blue Time was spreading, and pretty soon there'd be hundreds of new Midnighters that they would need to teach about Midnight.
