Deep dives
Isaac tries to prove his courage
Isaac wants to join Rodney Rathbone's gang, the Bones of Wrath, to prove that he is not a coward. He takes on a risky challenge in gym class by climbing to the top of the rope, but needs to be rescued by the fire department. Despite warnings about the gang's reputation, Isaac is determined to join. He embarks on another test of courage, where kids must endure getting hit with a paddle in order to join the gang. Peter, a smaller boy, attempts the challenge but ends up falling through the ice on a frozen river. Isaac takes charge, instructs others to call for help, and forms a chain to rescue Peter. They save him and reflect on what courage truly means.
