Will was such an introvert on the beginning of the book. Yet, when he needed to, he stepped up in a big way. These are the type of characters I really relate to. My default setting is to be by myself, but that doesn't mean I can't do what's needed.

You're right. There's nothing so gripping as a character who goes through a change during the things that happens to them through the experiences in a story. LLR
And they sang a new song saying,
"You are worthy to take the book,
and to open its to seals,
for You were slain and have redeemed us to God,
by your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and Nation." Rev. 5:9

Yes. Will, is relatable character. The story begin when the two have been kidnapped. And because of braveness of Will to look after his sister, I assume that the story can no longer more readable without those scene.

I think Will is very brave and compassionate. He is open to the world and people around him. He’s tenacious as well.

Will was extremely relatable. During the whole book, he had an attitude that shone through almost as if he was saying, "Oh, is this me?" but still courageous.
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 :angelic-grayflying:

I really like how much he likes animals, I mean who doesn't like animals? But I really liked to see how he handled this difficult trial that is in front of him and what he does to change the circumstances.

I think that Will is a relatable character for many readers. What made him relatable for me was his love for animals and his empathy.

I like how Will was consistently portrayed as a 12-year-old boy. Many fantasy novels featuring kids have the kids doing things that kids wouldn't really do. But Will was consistently thoughtless and coming up with silly ideas like a real 12-year-old would. He was likeable and sympathetic.

You are right. His courage makes him a relatable character. But, most importantly, his desire to find his sister against all odds. To venture into the world of the unknown is not an easy task. He was really courageous.

It seems as though Will is the perfect personification of many boys going through that preteen stage of struggling to determine who they are and who they'll become. He is sensitive and introspective, brave and courageous. From young boyhood to old age, certain males are capable of forming intense bonds with their pets and sympathy for all living creatures in general. It's those that possess loyalty, charisma, perseverance and curiosity who will go far in life. I think he's a very relatable character indeed!

I enjoyed this portrayal of a boy coming of age and his courage in the face of so many new, different and dangerous things. His love for his sister and his parents, and his concern for doing the right thing in each circumstance that he meets makes him quite relatable.

I definitely think that there are a lot of qualities that make Will a relatable character for sure. He has a ton of courage and empathy that make you want to like him and want to find those qualities in yourself while you read. I also agree he is definitely pure of heart.
