Chapter X WHAT HAPPENED
A lively band of seniors spends their last summer days on the Maine beach, dreaming of college, friendship, and daring exploits. When a mysterious low‑flying plane swoops over them and then crashes on a fog‑shrouded island, the group’s curiosity turns into a real‑world adventure. Together they scramble into a motorboat, racing against the tide to reach the wreckage and the solitary cabin they’ve built as a clubhouse.
On the rugged “Cloudy Island,” the friends discover the twisted remains of the aircraft and the secrets the isolated spot may hold. Their usual banter about exams, college choices, and a controlling aunt gives way to teamwork, bravery, and the thrill of exploring an unknown place. As they set up camp and begin to investigate, the summer promises more excitement than any classroom ever could.
