Frank’s parents and brother moved along and knew they lost him but Frank was still worried. They tried everything to get him back to normal but it wouldn’t work.

Frank’s brother his girlfriend’s brother went on a camping trip together. They thought that it would be fine and didn’t give it a second thought. Then, it was time that they were supposed to come home but they didn’t. At first, Frank thought they were just late or decided to stay an extra night but after two days they put on a search for the boys. Frank decided to go along because he wanted to be the hero and find his missing brother, but he didn’t. They searched for two days then called the search off. School then resumed and he had his last day of school. It was a hot day and his friends went swimming and asked him to come. He denied them and went home. For a couple weeks he did nothing and sat at home sad and worried. That’s not the old Frank and everyone knew it.

Then somewhere along the line, Frank’s old self sort of comes back. He thought about her brothers girlfriend and how she felt about this. Frank went and apologized to her and said how sorry he was. She seemed to be taking it very well. It’s her mom that is the problem. Her mom has post dramatic stress and can’t handle it. She won’t believe her son is dead and then Frank and his big mouth told her and she believed him and broke down. Frank then realized the girl needs help and he should be the one to do it. He transforms from a baby to a helpful friend and man. Frank helps her get through everything while having a great attitude.

As you can see Frank has definitely changed throughout the book. He started off as a little girl who didn’t do anything and hid in a corner. During the book he transferred into a nice and helpful man.
