Prompt: 

- Describe the main characters 

             The character most focused on throughout the book is Tucker. Tucker is a teenager who lives on an island called Pamberwick. He moved to this island when he was younger and has grown up there. He plays football on the school team and is a sub for the quarterback. He can be described as uncertain at times, but a positive person. He and his best friend, Quinn, like going on bike rides during the night to blow off steam. While riding one night, Tucker and Quinn encounter a flash of light. Tucker tries to make sense of it, not realizing that that night was the beggining of the end of their normal lives.

             Tori Sleeper is another character that is frenquently focused on. Tori Sleeper lives with her dad in a house by the beach. Her dad is a fisher and owns 2 lobster boats. Tori often helps her dad fish. Tori is the type of girl that hides her feelings, is mean, and is sarcastic. She would not be described as a girly-girl. If she is upset she doesn't tell anyone what happened unless she is specifically asked. She is also very resourceful and helpful. She was able to fight and take down a grown man, tying his hands together with wire. She tied a specific knot that would be able to hold for quite some time. She is very good at driving both a motorcycle/scooter and a boat. She is also brave and tough. After being shot in the shoulder, she was able to keep herself awake and manage the pain. 

          The third character that is considered to be one of the main ones is Quinn. Quinn is Tucker's best friend. Quinn also lives in Pamperwick and has parents that are doctors. He knows what he wants to do when he gets older and is really smart. He reads any book he can get his hands on and can really analyze things. He often gets Tucker thinking about what is going to happen in the future. Quinn can also be described as brave. When he, Tucker, and Tori were going to make 'The Pamberwick Run', he offered to take one of the boats all alone, and letting Tori take the boat with Tucker. Unfortunately, this act of bravery leads to him getting killed by an enemy airplane.
