Chapter 12 Summary

Nervously, Mrs. Whitman serves dinner to Finn and the first girl he ever brought home, Amanda. The main course is meat loaf, but Amanda is a vegetarian. Mr. Whitman is largely silent until Finn asks about a hurricane that diverted to Orlando and lost energy there; Finn’s dad says it’s common for hurricanes to do that over land.

Amanda and Finn go upstairs to study. His mom tells Finn to leave his door open. Finn and Amanda sit at his computer and launch an app that opens up an animated stone room created by Philby, with couches, chairs, and a soda machine. Finn’s avatar gets a soda. A girl avatar appears wearing hip huggers and a short yellow top. The avatar’s name is “angelface 13.” She and Finn’s avatar chat briefly; Amanda recognizes Charlene.

Willa’s avatar, “willatree,” appears in bellbottoms, followed by Philby’s “philitup” wearing red hair. Both avatars get sodas. Dillard shows up as “dilltoast,” and Finn must ask him to leave. Amanda suggests smoothing the boy’s feathers when they meet again at school. Maybeck’s avatar, “mybest,” arrives wearing an Afro that makes him look tall the way he is in real life.
