Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 46 Summary: “The Dark Lands”

Tank joins the Adventure Scouts, Blizzard, Podgy, Little Big Horn, and the prairie dogs as they venture deeper into the Dark Lands. The animals and people who came through the curtain split up to search for Megan; Tank believes the land is too quiet, and Noah feels like something is watching them. He shines Tank’s flashlight into the nearby hills and sees glowing eyes looking back. The sasquatches charge down the mountain to attack the Adventure Scouts.

Chapter 47 Summary: “The Sasquatches Strike”

Blizzard lets Noah off his back so he can fight an oncoming sasquatch. The two animals circle each other before attacking, neither side getting an immediate advantage. While they fight, another sasquatch sneaks behind Noah and drags him into the pond, pulling him deep underwater. The sasquatches gain the edge on Blizzard, and Noah fears he will never see Megan again.

Chapter 48 Summary: “The Brawl Begins”

Ella sees the sasquatches taking Blizzard down and dragging Noah into the pond. She calls for help, and Podgy dives in to rescue him. Meanwhile, the animals and Tank fight the sasquatches on the muddy field by the mountain. Ella and Richie worry about how long Noah has been underwater while, on land, the sasquatches overwhelm the animals. The sasquatches are winning the fight.
