Pop doesn't hear that. Though he can still catch the songs of  the birds in the trees above us—like the redbird he pointed out a  mile back—real low noises escape his ears. It has been that way since the sixth of June in '18 when he was partially deafened by the booming of the big guns. What big guns is Cal referring to in Chapter 1?

• The Cold War that Pop fought in

• WWII that Pop fought in

I'd buy more books if I had the money and a place to keep them other than my pack. One day, probably years down the road, when Pop and I have a place of our own again—as Pop promises we will—I am going to have a whole shelf of books in my room. Maybe two.  What can you infer

about Cal and Pop?

• Pop and Cal are homeless.

• Pop and Cal have a lot of money.

• Pop and Cal have a very bad relationship.

• Cal hates books and Pop makes a lot of promises that he cannot keep.
