Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Livy tries to remember details from the trip to her grandmother’s home in Australia five years ago. Gran Nicholas has set out three items from the trip in hopes of triggering Livy’s memory, but none do. Livy lives in Massachusetts, and she and her mother have come to visit Gran so that Gran can meet Livy’s baby sister, Beth Ann. Livy’s father has stayed in Massachusetts.
As she walks around the house, Livy remembers the chickens Gran keeps and the carpeted stairs. She also has a vague memory of the bedroom upstairs where she slept. When she enters the bedroom, Livy is drawn to the closet. Opening it, she finds a “small zombie wearing a chicken suit” (11). The “zombie” speaks, acknowledging Livy’s return.
Bob narrates the chapter, detailing how he has passed the five years since Livy left him in the closet instructing him to await her return. The list includes things such as “playing chess against a Lego pirate monkey” (13) and crying. He explains that Livy told him she would return soon and is angry that it has taken her five years to do so. Bob recalls how Livy “found [him] and saved [him]” (18), made the chicken suit he is wearing, and promised to help him return to his home.
