The Rules of Survival Chapter 40 Summary

Family Meeting

  • After the custody arrangement is approved, the kids have a family meeting with Ben and Aunt Bobbie.
  • Ben is planning to get a bigger apartment somewhere else, and he wants all the kids to move in.
  • Because they'll be in another city, they'll also have to switch schools. The whole thought freaks Matthew out, even though Callie seems pretty excited by the whole thing.
  • He also is worried about Aunt Bobbie. Finally, he comes up with the idea that the girls—Callie and Emmy—will go to stay with Ben while Matthew sticks around with Aunt Bobbie. That's an idea that everyone agrees to… at least for the time being.
