The most surpriseing thing in This book so far is that even tho the kids have their life together and have good things ahead of them, their mother and father still haven’t got their life together. The mother still is the same and so is the father. Everything they have been through, the parents still have not realized how badly they’ve hit rock bottom.

The most shocking event to me was when the dad smarted off to Brain because of the alcohol. The dad should have respected his son's rules for his house instead of braking his cabinets and getting the alcohol.

The most surprising event that has happened in my opinion is that the parents still depend on the kids. I just feel so shocked that they steal money from the kids, live in the kids houses and it is almost like they do not know how to live without the kids supporting them.

I think that one surprising event was when mom (Rose Mary Walls) got mad at the kids for saying they were hungry. It was shocking because those are her kids. Is she really that selfish to be mad at them? She’s supposed to take care of them and feed them not get mad.

I think one surprising event that has happened was when
Mom (Rose Mary) and Dad (Rex Walls) moved to New York and depend on their kids for a place to live. It's shocking that the parents want to take the things that their children have worked so hard for.

I think one surprising event that has occurred was when Dad (Rex Walls) steals the money from the piggy bank, Oz, that the kids had hidden.  The lack of food, wasting of money, and other awful events do occur, but I was so shocked that Dad would be so shallow to steal money that his children worked hard to save.  :(
