Chapter 20 Summary
The team reports to Mr. Stoker on its decision to help The Pet Hut. Lucy is happy to do the shelter’s paperwork—already she’s learned that small dogs are adopted at twice the rate of big dogs—but Windy thinks that’s boring, and she wants to do something bigger, like getting people to pet and exercise the dogs, or gather donations of pet food. Levi just likes dogs and wants them to get homes. Mr. Stoker asks for more ideas by the end of the following week.
He returns test papers. Lucy deliberately got one question wrong, and her score is a 92; Mr. Stoker congratulates her. The lowest score is Levi’s, a 60. Mr. Stoker uses an overhead projector to explain each question. Lucy notices that one of his calculations is wrong; it’s on the question she fake-missed. She’s dying to say something but holds back.
Chapter 21 Summary
Windy is busy with her dad on Saturday. Lucy gets Levi to go with her to The Pet Hut so she can continue working on their paperwork. Nana will drive them, and she’s delighted: She thinks they’re on some sort of date. Lucy insists it’s for the team project.
