In the book Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place this girl named Margaret goes to camp Tylicua and doesn’t do any thing but say, “ I prefer not to”. She’s also is bunking with 3 girls that do not like her. Then her uncle Alex goes to camp and gets Margaret because she wants to leave. Then she finds out on a postcard from her parents in Peru that the towers in her uncle’s backyard are being taken down . She saves the towers and that’s the end of the book.
