In chapter eleven, the boys are woken up by a train (in the middle of the night) and figure out it is the carnival arriving. They leave to get a closer look. Well...Jim leaves, and Will doesn't want to be left behind.
So the train blows its whistle, and the boys cry because it has like agony from billions of dead people and howling dogs and....it was really sad. The train stopped at a meadow, and after the signal of a mysterious man, people start setting the carnival up, silently...in the dark, and there was a person in a hot air balloon, who vanished.
Chapter 13, is from Charles Halloways point of view, and basically he sees the boys investigating the carnival. And walks by where the lady who was encased in ice, and notices that the water had melted, he doesn't want to think about it. When Will gets home he hears his father muttering to himself about how at three in the morning, women and children can sleep, but middle-aged men can't...
Next morning, the boys go to the carnival and find it to be regular, no mystery or magic, just a little poop carnival. They run into their teacher Miss Foley, who is looking for her nephew. Then she wants to go into the Mirror Maze, but Will has like...a heart attack and tells her not to go in. And then she goes in, gets lost, and sees some little girl that she wants to rescue, but Will and Jim pull her out....because she starts to drown?
As I said, this book is pretty strange.
Then later that night, Will loses Jim, only to find him....in the mirror maze! (What a surrrrrprise) and he's all mystified and junk. He wants to go back later that night, so Will has no choice but to agree. On their way home, they find a leather bag, not only any leather bag....the lightning rod salesman's bag! DUN DUN DUN
So the boys stay at the carnival to investigate.
