One surprising part was when Belly's mom convinced Mr. Fisher to not sell the house and let Conrad keep the house on one condition. This one condition was Conrad couldn't fail any of his tests that he had the next day. " I want you do finish your exams and if you do that the house is yours"(234). This shows that Mr. Fisher just wanted the best for the boys but the boys didn't think this.

One surprising part was when they told us that they were selling the summer house, and Conrad had given up. I didn't think that Conrad was going to give in and let somebody buy the summer house because it was so important to him. "he lifted his glass, 'to the last night'. (185)." This part is so surprising because Conrad was saying how is was his house and not his dad's, and how his mom wouldn't want it to be sold.

One important part is when Conrad opens the door the the lady that is trying to but the summer home. This is so important because now we know why Conrad isn't leaving and it's not because of school its because he doesn't want his dad to sell the house. "'I'm just her to make sure everything's coming along and getting packed up'"(143). This part is really big because it's showing how important the house is to Conrad.

One surprising part was when Belly and Jeremiah were looking for Conrad and they figured out that he might be at the summer house. When Jeremiah tells her that they have to go, Belly says no and to drop her home. "'Maybe you should just drop me off on the way to Cousins'"(99). This shows that belly didn't want to go to Cousins because of her fight with Conrad, but she gave in for Jeremiah to help find him.

One important part was when Conrad went missing. Jeremiah called Belly saying that he doesn't know where Conrad went and he needs help looking for him and he asked Belly if she would help. "'He Jeremiah, said, Hey Belly, Conrad's gone''(44). This part was really important because belly cared about Conrad or else she wouldn't go with Jeremiah to look for him.
