Summary: Chapter 10 was about when Susie’s sister, Lindsey, and her boyfriend, Samuel Heckler, went to the statewide Gifted Symposium over the summer, which is like a summer camp for really smart people. The final challenge was supposed to be “Make the ultimate mousetrap”, but then was changed to “design the perfect murder”, which really upset Lindsey. Also, Susie discovered the key to leave her heaven, the key to seeing her dead grandparents. All she had to do was let go of Earth, and leave it behind.
Thinking: It was ironic how the new theme for the final challenge was the “perfect murder”, when Susie’s death had been the perfect murder. You would think that the new assistant principal who came up with the idea would have known about Lindsey’s sister, and would have been a little more sensitive about Lindsey’s situation at Gifted Camp.
If I were Susie, then I think I’d try to let go of Earth, and try to find my dead grandparents. She always said how she’s incredibly lonely, and finding her favorite grandpa could finally make her happy. She can’t change anything that’s happening on Earth, so she just needs to let go.
