Every Soul A Star- The Unusuals


In our reading we find out that Bree and her family will be taking over the campground that is currently run by Ally's family. We also find out that Bree will be in charge of maintaining the Unusuals.


The purpose of the Unusuals is to entertain the guests at the campground. They are "extras" that come with being at the campground.









One of the extras is the sundial.
 
Here is a brief history of the sundial:
