The end of this book kind of made me realize that although I understand why the boys are so engrossed in this investigation I think the rest of the town is right for sort of letting it ago because what the girls do is inexplicable. That sort of leads into the thing about the asylum and essentially to me it seems as though the boys are trapped in the asylum of their own tree house unable to escape "those rooms where they [lisbon girls] went to be alone for all time"(243) because they saw the situation from a different frame of reference than the rest of that world and since no one else understands them they are trapped.
Afterthought- the whole trapped thing also applies to the lisbons but I don't have time to delve into that side of it right now.
