(Pg, 23)The plot of the story is when Teddy and Pete are at school they get into a deep conversation about what happened the night Pete's dad tried to break into Teddy's house well his dad got arrested and the next day they were talking about it like they were never there. (Pg, 25) Also, Teddy's mom was trying to help out Pete and his family while their dad was in prison. Teddy was just thinking how could Pete's dad be so rude and try to break into our house? Well, the answer to that was him going to jail and Pete's family moving back into their house, after that they had a blast.
