the boys are still on their way to Walla Walla when they get caught in a fierce rain storm. They run into a sheriff on the road who questions them. Sam sneaks up and hits the officer in the leg and he falls. Ian believes they are too far in to get help from the cops. They leave the cop on the pavement and they are on their way. Then they reach a barn and find a pickup truck that luckily starts. Ian and sam are relieved to heat up and then they are on their way. A lot of frustration goes on in this chapter with sam. He really misses his mom and ian feels guilty about it.

Since their home is being monitored by the police, Ian and Sam have to camp outside in the cold, and they almost freeze. They are hungry and thirsty so the look for work and they find it. After working in the barn they get supplies and are on their way again. Ian becomes lost and his map isnt detailed enough. Sam questions whether they should call ms veer for a ride. This book is finally getting exciting and i wonder what is going to happen next, even though it seems a little cheesy. So far i would give this book a 6.5/10

skate finally gets a plot (#7)

The two brothers stop at a bar that their mom is usually at and get the address of her boyfriends house. Ian forces his way past the door and finds his mother inside. But malachi (boyfriend) shuts the door on them and Ian realizes she doesnt want to come out. Sam is frustrated with Ian that he can't fix the problem, but its beyond fixing now. They now turn directions and look for their long-lost dad. It's going to be a longer journey this time because he lives across the state.

ian and sammy have to hide or else sam will be taken away. they have no parents there for help; their mom is nowhere to be seen. The 2 brothers and bernie reach the mcdermott house and find a cop out front. Bernie acts as the bait so ian and sam can sneak inside. After exiting the house, ms. veer arrives and tries to tell ian to stop what he's doing, but he ignores her and they head out on their jouney to search for mom.

ms. veer, one of the schools officials, comes to ians house after he returns from the dumpster with food. ian doesnt like to have people concerned about him so he kicks her out of the house. ian does not respect authority and thats why he is not doing well in school because he ignores the teachers. I think he developed this because his mother is never home and he has to be the boss around the house. The principal kicks him out of the school and that leads him to end up getting into a fight with the gym teacher. After he decked the teacher, he runs away and goes to get sammy before the school did.
