Chapter 3: DEAR MOM AND DAD 

• Rudy refuses to lie to Chip about being responsible for the slop in Harold’s sneakers. This uncompromising integrity is a hallmark of many GRK mischief-makers: They break a lot of rules while troublemaking, but they are principled about honesty…
• … except when they’re telling tall tales, like Rudy does in his letter home to his parents. “… but don’t worry. Only one guy got killed.” Best camp letter ever!
• Rudy is quick to nix the dam and move on to scheming a nautical escape. But: Enter the beaver!
• Chip appears to be haunted by not knowing what Rudy and Mike were doing while they weren’t in arts and crafts all day. I see a bit of NO COINS, PLEASE’s Rob Nevin in Chip’s anxiety about his charges.
