Chapter Eight
Predictions: 1) Something terrible will happen to one of the peck family members.
2) Pinky will get lost, if she keeps wondering off.
3) Robert will finally talk to the girl he likes.
Questions: 1)Who is Letty Phelps?
2) Why did Letty kill herseld and drown her baby?
3) Why did Mr.Hillman go and dig up the baby?
4) Why did Haven and Robert go and stop Mr.Hillman?
Clarifications: I don't really get this chapter. I don't understand what Letty Phelps has to do with anything in this book. And why would they just randomly put this whole subject in the book. It really doesn't fit in with the rest of the book, in my opinion at least.
Connections: 1) My aunt came over one night and told us some terrible news. That my grandma had passed away.
2) We have had people in the past try to mess with our property in Mexico.
Summary: Robert wakes up in the middle of the night to close his window because it was raining to much. He then heads downstairs but hear's his mom, Aunt Carrie and a neighbor, Mrs.Hillman talking. Mrs. Hillman was telling them that her husband has taken a team and run off to ride the grave of Letty Phelps, which her husband Mr.Hillman had an affair with. The affair resulted in them having a child. After the baby was born Letty drowned the baby and then killed herself. Haven and Robert go to the churchyard and Robert is not understanding why. They then see the neighbors and Mr.Hillman tells him that he is not planning to dig up Letty just the baby. They head home. And while going home Mr.Hillman apologizes and Haven says it's over and done.
