The Sky is Everywhere Chapter 27 Summary

  • In a poem, Lennie admits that she used to like how her mother belonged to her and Bailey alone.
  • The Walker household is a sad place without Joe—Gram is mopey, and when Uncle Big asks where Joe is, Lennie cries.
  • At work, Lennie is so stressed out that she can't even make lasagnas. (Don't tell Garfield.)
  • Good thing she called Sarah, who shows up and asks what's wrong.
  • When Lennie tells her, Sarah makes the mistake of saying Bailey would kill Lennie.
  • Lennie yells at Sarah, but she yells ridiculous things about saints, so it doesn't get ugly, and instead they both wind up laughing so hysterically that Lennie's boss sends them outside.
  • Sarah decides that Lennie should seduce Joe to get him back.
  • Lennie apologizes about having been so distant with Sarah; she realizes Sarah's been grieving for Bailey, too.
  • Cut to band practice, where Sarah has dressed Lennie in a tiny dress, lots of makeup, and big heels.
  • Lennie almost chickens out, ducking into a side classroom, but then she tries to channel Bailey's confidence and walks into the band room.
  • One problem: Joe dropped out of band.
