Chapters 13-16Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 13 Summary: “Bonding rabbits isn’t always a smooth process. Sometimes a few steps forward is followed by a step backwards”

Emma tells Iris and Leah the plan to do the presentation’s reveal in person. Iris initially pushes back, but at Jack’s suggestion, they take a vote, and Leah votes with Emma and Jack. To Emma’s horror, Jack shares that Emma was homeschooled, and that Emma’s frog statement was a truth. Iris reacts with slight distain, but Leah tells Emma that she thinks “it’s cool” that Emma was homeschooled and invites her to join their table at lunchtime. Jack overhears the invitation; putting on his Elmer Fudd accent, he says: “You won’t get away this time, Monsieur Lapin” (134). Emma is torn between Jack and Leah, who is rolling her eyes at Jack. Emma sees that Jack stands out, “not in a good way” (114). She makes a quick decision and rolls her eyes too, choosing Leah and excluding Jack.

Chapter 14 Summary: “Rabbits are territorial. Be careful and respectful when reaching into a rabbit’s space or you might be charged at or even bitten”

Emma is excited for lunch. When she sees the chair saved for her, Emma feels like she is “floating inside” (136). She worries about fitting in when the kids at the table find out she was homeschooled, but the conversation moves smoothly until Jack appears behind Emma. Emma, embarrassed, tells him that she’s sitting with the others today.
