In May, the school begins to start the atomic bomb drills. The seventh grade also goes on a class field trip to architectural points in Long island since Mrs. baker spilled some cider and the class had to evacuate. Outside of school, Hollings varsity team (of the eighth graders) are still mad at Holling for his win. At home, Mr. Hoodhood is given an update on Mr. kowalski how he is getting the opportunity to redesign Yankee Stadium. Mr. Hoodhood is furious ad doesn't know what to do. Mr Hoodhood and Holling's sister agree about college again. It's getting worse by the day. She now eats in her room, she won't come out of her room, and is barely talking to anyone in her family. Mr. Hoodhood drives home a new car.
One day, Holling's sister leaves a note that says she ran away with her boyfriend to California to find herself and what she wants to do with her life. Holling is worried on what his sister will do. A couple nights after Holling's gets a call in the middle of the night from his sister saying she's broke and wants to go home. So Holling goes to bank and cashes in his savings to pay for his sisters bus ride back home.
