Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Avery writes a letter to Sam and Kristina. She’s still working through her fear of canoeing. There is a dance with the boys from Camp Stone Point on Saturday. She thinks it’s strange that they have never met these boys but are supposed to dance with them, but it’s a tradition, like everything at Camp Far View Tarn.
Brielle’s mother sends a letter to Brielle, having learned from Mrs. Leonard that Brielle and Tyler got into a fight at the dance. Mrs. Leonard did not go into specifics, but she said the children were writing formal apologies. Brielle’s mother warns her to straighten up: She already regrets marrying Brielle’s father and would not want to regret having children as well.
Tyler Mayhew (Brielle’s brother) writes a letter to Avery. When he asked her to dance, he didn’t know anything about her but really did want to dance with her. During their third dance, Brielle approached them and asked Tyler if he knew Avery has a gay father. Bett and Brielle started yelling at each, and Tyler now worries that Avery might think he’s an “idiot” like his sister: He doesn’t care if Avery’s father is gay. There’s another dance coming up, and Tyler hopes to see Avery there again.
