BLOG POST #11 "The Rusty Ruins" Page 61.

Write a one paragraph summary of this chapter. Tell about the important events in chronological order.

• Tally and Shay slide between broken buildings, very much unlike the annual ugly school field trips to show the ruined cities of once-modern civilization. Shay assures an anxious Tally that their boards won't 'conk out' because 'whoever built this city loved to waste metal'. The 'Rusties', as they are called for their corroded town, are the target of teachers as an example of extreme stupidity. How huge the crumbled buildings, how real! And why ever did they work in their above-ground factories like bees in a hive, instead of at home? Then, Shay awakes Tally from her reverie to show her yet another Rusty legacy. The Roller Coaster. Always-adventurous Shay convinces unfaithful Tally to follow the steel twists and turns on their iron-dependant hoverboards. Tally briefly fumes with rage for Shay after she is left in the dark about the minor detail of the roller coaster's didtinct gap. Another of Shay's extravagant plans leaves the pair waiting to meet the one responsible for the Coaster's rediscovery.
