Hi, Zoey,
Thanks for posting. **** SPOILER ALERT **** I envisioned the characters as typical middle schoolers. The two best friends were big guys, and Chase had to be pretty well-built too, being a football player. Brendan — a little on the small goofy side. Chase’s Mom — patient and long-suffering, mother of a difficult son. Chase’s Dad — brash and mouthy. The old soldier — cranky, but with a good heart. Shoshanna — pretty, and volatile. Joel — a nice kid, very quite and artistic. A whole variety of people who could be recognizable by anyone and everyone.
OK? Hope you enjoy the book.
