Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The email exchange between Avery and Bett continues. Avery has already written two more stories, along with 18 poems. She shares a haiku she wrote, which is about their fathers abandoning them to go on a vacation together.
Sam emails Avery to say he’s excited about his adventure with Marlow and to ask what Avery thinks about Bett.
Bett replies to Avery. She’s alone in the office, being punished because she jumped off the zipline into the lake. While waiting for the camp director, Daniel Birnbaum, to come speak to her, Bett wonders if she will be sent home. This would be a problem, since Marlow is still in China. Also, Bett read Marlow’s email and discovered that he and Sam have gotten into two motorcycle crashes and are both minorly injured. Sam also had to take Marlow to the hospital for a peanut allergy incident.
Daniel Birnbaum emails Marlow explaining that Bett broke the rules but is unharmed. Bett is well-liked and amenable, but not great with authority. Daniel questions whether she was trying to harm herself by jumping in the lake. She has been removed from zipline class as well as Campcrafts, which involves hatchets.
Worried about “copycat crimes,” CIGI shuts the zipline down.
