Catching Teller Crow Summary
Storyboard Text
- From Beth's side of the narrative the story is told through third person past tense prose. We learn that before the story that takes place Beth's auntie was driving the car when an unfortunate event happened causing the death of Beth.
- However, Beth didn't fully die as she came back as a ghost which only her father could see. Beth's father was distraught and going into a depression because of his daughter dying. Beth tries her best to cheer her father up but he was too stuck up inside of his own grief to realise it was an accident.
- Beth's father was set off to find the cause of a fire that happened in a rural town and interrogate any suspects. This leads Beth and her father meet catching and ask her about her story to see if it related to the fire
- Catching's perspective is told from a first-person present tense verse. Catching's story has monsters and mentions a character called "Crow." Beth's father believed what catching was saying was just a lie and wanted what actually happened. But catching insists what she is saying is the truth causing a problem as the reader on who to trust. This is also where we find out that catching can also see beth and suggests she leaves her father behind and move on.
- Catching describes meeting a white character called crow after being kidnapped by a monster she named "The feed." This monster supposedly took peoples colours and was trying to do so to catching. But, both catching and crow team up against "the feed" and go free from the place where they were trapped. Beth's father decides t consider what catching is saying in her story and finds out that there was actually a murder or two associated with the fire that happened; so Beth's father sets the police on the case to try and get someone arrested.
- Near the end of the book we find out that catching is actually a person that can "walk all side of the world," meaning that just like Beth she could go to the afterlife. Beth's father learns to forgive and reconcile with the auntie by going to a party they were holding. This meant that Beth didn't have to take care of her father anymore and the story ends with Catching, Crow and Beth all going to the afterlife.
