What is the conflict to this story?

Hi, Caitlin. I wouldn't worry too much about your essay sounding like a summary. Even if it does a little, it would give more details on the conflict in the story, which is different from the summary. Plus, it would be in your own words, which is important. The summary you put in your question does not give any details on why there is a conflict with kevin and marsha--it only hints that there is one. So, your paragraph would fill in the details, which they usually never put in a summary, because they do not want to give away the story before people have read the book! Once you start, I am sure you will do just fine. Hopefully, since it is only one paragraph, it will not take too long to write, either. It sounds like a fun story, so, I hope you have fun with your ignment, also! Good luck!
