MilkyAndTwiz (or just Twiz) or probably Brendan Espinoza

Could you perhaps tell me all the characters in Old School (and I mean every) so I know who to expect what name is what. You don’t have to give the whole story and what their role is, I just want to know the names. (could you also specify their gender though so I don’t misgender them?) Thanks! :)

Hi again,

Now, this sounds like you want to know about the book without reading it!

You could try Googling "OLD SCHOOL - characters and basic story". Most of the information is there. It's about Dexter (boy) who lives with his grandmother (elderly lady) in a seniors community and is home schooled by all the old folks there. At the start, he finds that the law says he has to go to regular middle school. The book is about his adventures trying to fit in. And the real star is a Swiss army knife (neuter).

That's it. The rest is all in the book. The genders are based on the names. --GK--
