Pages 47-63 Summary

The doorbell rings. Olive excitedly greets her cool Aunt Molly, who has green hair. Mom asks Molly to help with dinner while she cleans up Goober’s mess. Olive helps Aunt Molly make pasta, and the family happily works together on dinner. Aunt Molly asks for updates, and Goober shows off his new tooth growing in, but when Mom mentions the variety show, Olive’s face falls. Despite her family’s questions, Olive cannot muster any excitement, and Mom reveals that Olive does not yet have an act. Aunt Molly believes that Olive will think of something. Goober talks about his plan to juggle when he is in fifth grade and then suggests that the family play a card game. Olive excuses herself to her room, and Aunt Molly looks worried. Olive sits sadly on her bed, watching a horror movie on her laptop. She stays there until it starts to get dark, and then somebody knocks on the door. Aunt Molly asks Olive if she wants to talk about what’s going on. Olive admits that the variety show is frustrating her, because although everyone at school has split off into groups, none of the groups have invited Olive to join.
