Page "The Last Book in the Universe" Paragraph 3

At this point in the novel, it is shown that Lanaya is a special proov who has been bred to eventually lead Eden, and so she has rights and privileges that other proovs do not.

They take Bean to a proov hospital and she is cured of her sickness using genetic surgery.

Ryter and Spaz, and Little Face enjoy the paradise of Eden, being unfamiliar with grass, a blue sky, fish in a stream, and apples, among other things.

Some time later Ryter, Spaz, and Bean are thrown out of Eden because the elders who rule over Eden decide they are unacceptable, even though Bean is extremely smart, having beaten one of Lanaya's contributors in chess.

The elders of Eden refuse to accept that someone from the Urb could naturally be better than a proov in any way.

Little Face is secretly adopted by Lanaya's contributors.

Lanaya reveals to the elders that the mindprobes, which cause so much damage to the people who use them, come from Eden, and so all the mindprobes throughout the Urb are deactivated, causing rioting and anarchy outside Eden.

Bean is deposited at her home, and Ryter and Spaz are returned to theirs.

Back at Spaz's home latch Ryter is blamed for the deactivation of the mindprobes and is wheeled and killed, while Spaz has an epileptic seizure.

Before his death, Ryter tells Spaz that he is the last book in the universe.

Billy Bizmo, the leader of Spaz's latch, tells him that he is his father and that his mother died at his birth.
