But, it never worked for her, as they removed them for false teeths. Other than this problem, Raina, on the other hand, had to go to school and she lost her friends. She had other things to worry about than this, she was crushing on a tiny tot six grader and she was in seventh. Her friends teased her until she changed her mind to meet another stood up boy named Sean. Anywho, She made new friends at high school. And she got to look Ager her with new piercings she had on her birthday. How smileful is that?

Brian later learns that the man who rescued him is a fur buyer out to survey Cree trapping camps. Brian had lost a lot of his body weight since the crash, and he remains thin for years. Many of the changes Brian underwent in the wilderness seem permanent, such as his observant and thoughtful nature, and food never loses its wonder for him. Reporters become briefly interested in covering his story, but soon the attention wanes. Brian has many dreams in which he recalls his time in the woods, many pleasant. If Brian had had to survive the winter there, it would have been very difficult. While his parents react with such joy at knowing their son has survived, and even get back together briefly, they soon return to their respective homes. Although he repeatedly intends to, Brian never actually tells his father about "The Secret."
