And a gist is what you'll get! MIXED UP was 10 books ago! I had to go and find a copy just to check out Theo and Reef.
This is what I squeezed out of a quick peek at the book:
Reef is athletic, but thin and pale with his grief. He's probably fair-haired with light eyes, maybe blue, maybe hazel.
Theo is tanned from outdoor gardening work. He would be more robust, more healthy-looking, dark hair and brown eyes.
And that's all you're going to get because I'm not a great describer. I think I might get more actual description of what a character is like from the action, and especially the dialogue. Hope it's helpful. Thanks for your interest.
