Quint Baker is a character from The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier.
Quint loves science and making inventions. His inventions are always super cool and useful. He’s very smart, and though he is a bit socially awkward, he’s open to making new friends. He’s wildly imaginative and I really enjoyed learning about him throughout the series.

Percy Jackson is from the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.
Percy is a Greek demigod. Demigods are children of the gods and mortals (normal humans). There are Greek (children of Greek gods) and Roman demigods (children of Roman gods). Percy is a son of Poseidon, one of the Big Three, meaning that he is one of the most powerful demigods. In fact, he is the most powerful demigod. He controls the water and can sometimes control other substances that are similar to water, like poison or blood. I loved how we got to see Percy progress, from a clueless 12 year old to a 16 year old who has gone through so much (as of Blood of Olympus). I also really enjoyed the cameos he made in other series, especially in the Magnus Chase series. Percy is such a great character and I loved reading about him.

Otto Alston is a character from The Last Last-Day-of-Summer and The Last Mirror on the Left.
He is a peppy bright person who cares about his family and friends a lot. I loved reading about his adventures with Sheed, his cousin and how they helped the people and places around them. The way that their minds think and how they adapt to any situation is really cool. Otto’s ideas are always really great and I really enjoyed reading about him.

Nestor Lopez is a character from The Total Eclipse of Nestor Lopez by Adrianna Cuevas.
Nestor has a magical ability to talk to animals. When he learns that the animals in his town are disappearing and that his grandmother is being blamed, he knows that he needs to somehow find out what’s actually going on. I love how brave he is and the way he works with his friends to figure out what to do. His special ability comes even more in handy when he faces the Tule Vieja, the witch who’s been causing the animals’ disappearances. I love Nestor’s character and how he discovers who he is!

Mini Kapoor-Mercado-Lopez is a character from the Aru Shah series by Roshani Chokshi.
Mini is a Pandava, who is a child of the gods. Each of the Pandavas get reincarnated each century and Mini, along with Aru, Brynne, Nikita, and Sheela are the modern day Pandavas. Mini starts out as a young girl who worries about germs and diseases. As the series goes on, I can see her starting to grow older. While she still has the same worries, I can tell how much she’s learned and how far she’s come. I love the way she works with her soul sisters (the Pandavas) and the way that they’re such a good fit for each other.

Kate Wetherall is a character from the Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart.
I love how resourceful she is. Wherever she goes, she carries a bright red bucket, which carries many useful things, including string, extra strength glue, a flashlight, and more. These objects have helped her out in many tricky situations and are a great help to everyone when the Society (Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance) go adventuring. I also loved learning about Kate’s backstory and how her character gets developed.

Jackson Greene is a character from The Great Greene Heist by Varian Johnson.
Jackson is a “former” con-man…..until he hears that Keith Sinclair, one of his enemies, is running for president and will probably use his connection to the principal to win the competition. With a band of teammates who have the same ideas as him, Jackson forms an elaborate plan. I love seeing how the plan plays out and the way that Jackson adds humor and his thoughtfulness.

Isabel is a character from the Seeds of America trilogy by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Isabel was born into being a slave. When her previous owner dies, she is to be freed, but no one can find the will with this information written on it. Because of this, Isabel and her sister, Ruth, are sold into slavery. It’s a tough life and Isabel hates it. She knows that she needs to leave, but she doesn’t know how. I loved reading about Isabel’s twists and turns and ups and downs in this three book series.

Hanako is a character from A Place to Belong by Cynthia Kadohata.
Hanako is a twelve year old girl who’s struggling to find the real definition of home. She’s clever and tries to help everyone. While she battles her inner decisions of what’s right and wrong, she makes sure that others are doing well and helps them feel better. I really love seeing her change as she adjusts to Japan.
