  1. Daniel Landgraf BruisesBy: Archimede Fusillo chapter 1-8 summary

  2. Chapter 1 • In this chapter, we are introduced to some of the characters in the book, namely: • Falco • Ape • Mr. Tallis • Brad • Singh • Cannucia • The boys of 11B are heading on camp, and at the end of the chapter, they have arrived at the campsite.

  3. Chapter 2 • At the start of this chapter, we are introduced to 2 more characters: • The camp owner, Reg Bleary • The camp manager, Kevin Fitzgibbons, or Gibbo • Falco also begins to talk about Val, his brother with a physical disease • The book starts to talk about Brad • He plays guitar • He is new to the school • He is targeted by Ape • The boys of 11B are being introduced to the camp and their bunks are being chosen

  4. Chapter 3 • In this chapter, we find who is sleeping in what bunk, however we only find out about one bunk, bunkhouse 5, which is the most important in the book, as it contains most of the main characters • We discover that Ape is bullying Brad for some unknown reason • We learn that Ape likes to intimidate the others in Bunkhouse 5, this is evident when he compares the Bunkhouse to a jail cell

  5. Chapter 4 • In this chapter, all of 11B are gathered together in the hall, and the camp manager, Reg Bleary, is finding out who will do the breakfast duty in the morning via a ballot. • Unfortunately for Falco, he picks out his own bunkhouse for breakfast duty. This doesn’t go down very well with Ape, even though he probably won’t show up for it • Mr. Tallis talks to Falco about his brother, Val, and asks how things are going on at home • As the chapter ends, the boys of 11B are about to set out on their first activity, a night orienteering course

  6. Chapter 5 • In this chapter, we discover that the boys of 11B are having trouble with the orienteering task • Their problem is that they are lost • Ape is busy sending Cannucia out into the lake that the boys are next to in an attempt at catching a dead stingray • Meanwhile, Brad and Singh are attempting to find a way to get back to the campsite • All of a sudden, Cannucia disappears in the water, everyone, after a while, fearing the worst • Then, Cannucia appears further up the beach, and tells everyone that he slipped on a rock and went under • He managed to get himself back to the shore however

  7. Chapter 6 • In this chapter, the boys have managed to get themselves back to camp, and back to a relieved Gibbo, who is once happy that everyone is back, starts to get angry at the group • Even thought the camp has been going for a short time, Ape already has a grudge against Gibbo, and when Gibbo calls Ape a goomba, that’s the icing on the cake, and Ape goes off at him • While this happens, everyone else goes silent, and Gibbo is startled • Gibbo punishes the boys by not giving them their supper, and some of the other boys of 11B taunt them • It is revealed that Ape changed the compass’, so presumably he changed a working one for the one that didn’t work and got them lost • Ape begins to taunt Falco for not “standing up for the rest of the group” earlier in the chapter

  8. Chapter 7 • Ape continues to taunt the bunkhouse, by teasing Brad about his guitar, and Singh, about his weight issues • Falco and Brad both go to the toilet, however, because Brad announced it after Falco, Ape decided to tease Brad again, by suggesting that he is gay • Brad and Falco start to talk about their fathers and what they are like, for example, Brad’s dad liked to play manly games like football, however, Falco’s dad didn’t have any time for games, he was always worried about Falco’s brother

  9. Chapter 8 • Falco gets up and heads off to do the breakfast duty • He feels that this is a good break to get away from Ape, who doesn’t want to do it, and tells Cannucia to cover for him with an excuse • Reg takes the excuse, however, he decides that Ape and Cannucia need other duties to compensate for them missing out on the breakfast duty • The boys of 11B head off to their morning activity, the giant swing. Most of the boys are excited, however, Singh is not looking forward to it • Luckily for Singh, it turns out that the giant swing won’t be run. However, this is due to vandalism, and this doesn’t go down at all well with Gibbo • Ape tries to make himself look helpful and big by trying to suss out who could have cut it town, but Gibbo yells at Ape, and Ape is taken aback • Ape then decides to make himself look big again by bullying others and attempting to force out a confession
