Frank watched as I swallowed. 

"Well?" he asked.

 "It's not the worst thing I ever ate," I said. "Once I ate dog droppings."

Frank laughed. "I ate glass."

Frank, Chris, and Jack (Chris's uncle), were going on a trip along the Alaskan coast. They sunk and now are dumped on an abandoned island. They go searching for clams and find some. So, they start eating them. I think this quote is important because Frank and Chris rarely get along in the book, but this was the first moment Frank and Chris had ever gotten along and bonded as well. This was a moment I thought Frank and Chris would never have.
