Okay, so I think my blog is doing something weird since I accidentally published that one post on Thanksgiving. I'm pretty positive I republished it yesterday, but that's not what this site is telling me... Hmm, oh well, nothing to be done about it now, I guess.
Anyways, I was going to describe the four test-takers' personalities, right? Okay, here goes, in the order they were introduced in the book.
Reynard "Reynie" Muldoon. He is described as extremely average-looking - average hair, average face, average height, average clothes, average everything. But I can assure you he is definitely anything but average on the inside. He's got more patience than the average kid, for one thing. And his mind is incredible; he can think his way out of almost every situation. If there's a riddle to be solved, or a seemingly impossible set of directions to be followed, you can bet Reynie can and will solve and follow. And for those of you who care to know a bit of background, Reynie is an orphan.
George "Sticky" Washington. He has a photographic memory and is a faster-than-lightning reader. Although he far surpasses Reynie in this, they balance out by virtue of the fact that Sticky can't always process the information to explain it to others (he can generally only repeat it word-for-word; amazing, right?). He's also "notoriously fidgety," a fact that he and his team take advantage of later in the book. He also happens to be completely bald, because he purposely made all his hair fall out so the parents he ran away from wouldn't recognize him.
Oh, dear. I'm reaching my average posting size already, and I'm only halfway through. o_O Okay, so I guess I'll save the girls for tomorrow.
