Trivia

 * In early sessions of brainstorming for the book, Kara Loo, one of Pixelberry's writers, has tweeted a photo of one of their brainstorming sessions, where Captain Malatesta's ghost and the terms, "Time Raiders" were written on a whiteboard.
 * Curiously, none of those have yet to make an appearance in the book.
 * This is the first book of the Endless Summer series that features all four love interests and your character on the cover. It is also the first cover to depict Jake, Sean and Quinn in their normal outfits instead of in their swimwear, as well as the first cover to not feature the Fox.
 * In Chapter 2, Chris Winters, a character from the "Red Carpet Diaries" series is mentioned.
 * Similar to the television show "Lost", this book features flashbacks and flashforwards to potential futures via the Embers of Hope in this book and the "Catalyst Idols" in Book 2.
 * In Chapter 4, the "Old Note" clue is expanded further when the gang end up at Neptune Cave, trying to find the other half of the island's heart.

 * There is, as of now, a week and a half hiatus between Chapter 6 and Chapter 7, as the series is stated to be on a "mid-season break", a term used previously to describe the hiatus of Hero, Vol. 1. Pixelberry's "What's Next" blog has stated that it is due to the writers wanting to make the final book as epic and mind-blowing as possible.
