Thanks much. I do think stories are better that are supported by reality. To me, it is the characters and their activities that are the story. Unless it has aspects of science fiction or pure fantasy.

Not completely unexpected. Back in the first story, the first sleepout, Leon asked how Michael knew so much about dogs. Michael responded something like he read a lot and hoped to work with animals someday.

It was at that moment Michael realized he might have won. He reached up for Tanner’s hand and asked, “I won?”
“You won, little buddy.”
“Oh my God.”
Tanner pulled Michael out of the pool and was the first to give him a hug. Stephen made it to that end of the pool and fought his way through the crowd to Michael.
Hugging Michael, Stephen exclaimed, “You did it!”
“I almost can’t believe it.”
