Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 29 Summary

That night at campfire, Noah and Melody sit together. They talk about music they like—hip hop, for sure, heavy metal, not so much. Melody decides to risk sounding goofy and tells Noah that when she listens to music, she sees colors. She is amazed when Noah admits he does the same thing. Melody takes a moment and realizes excitedly that she is talking to a boy.

Chapter 30 Summary

Later that night, Melody feels she needs to go to bathroom. She alerts Trinity, and the two head out to the camp facilities. On the way back to the cabin, they run into Noah who also is making a bathroom run. Seeing Noah, Melody is flustered, and even worries about her bed hair. When she gets back to her bed, she cannot sleep.

Chapter 31 Summary

The next morning, with the encouragement of the counselors, the camp squads play a game called Balloon Ball in which teams of two try to move a balloon down the camp’s fenced-in playing field any way they can and put the balloon into the goal area. Because the balloons float freely, the game involves teamwork and concentration. The Falcons spend the morning’s art class painting new sleeveless T-shirts for their team and, dressed in their new uniforms, head out for the competition.
