Quote #10
I jumped off the porch and pushed Bear away from Mom as hard as I could.
"Get out of here!" I yelled at him. His mouth was hanging open, and his eyes were kind of blank, like he wasn't even there. I'd never seen him like that before. He just backed away without a fight and stood in the driveway, not leaving, but not coming any closer either.

Well, the power certainly has shifted at Rafe's house. As soon as Bear pushes Mom, he knows he's in the wrong. Rafe acts to help Mom and even Bear can't say anything in his defense. He doesn't fight or argue. He just backs away. Finally, a bully gets his just desserts in this book.
