Part 3, Chapter 32 Summary

The night that Wren becomes a Coyote, she finally meets the other Grizzlies and eats a warm meal for the first time since she arrived at camp. Early the next morning, Michelle wakes up the girls with orders to pack up and move camp. Although grouchy and tired, everyone wants to know what happened to Dax; they learn that he was caught and taken back to court. Wren points out that Dax stole her canteen, but when Michelle states that they’ll deal with it later, Wren lashes out.

In response, the other girls immediately shut her out, giving her the silent treatment. Mia is the only one who helps Wren pack her things and cook breakfast. She tells Wren that showing the counselors disrespect is not acceptable, because they truly care about the campers. Wren is upset about the continued silence as the group eats breakfast together. Wren finally offers Michelle a sincere apology; later, she tearfully reflects on her own confused feelings about this camp and the people here.
