Claire was a great spice for the plot and well-developed for her age. She had this sense of humor emanating from her childish mannerisms.

It reminds me of how reckless we were as kids. And there was definitely an excitement to learn about scary and ghost stories when I was a child too.Songjohn007 wrote: ↑19 Mar 2020, 16:20 Claire's character in the book show how brave some children can be, imagine a child being excited to ghost stories.

Yes, I agree. The writing of a child was excellent so the author did a great job with it.Jennashby_87 wrote: ↑18 Mar 2020, 19:39 I agree with pretty much everyone in this forum. Claire was such an interesting and relatable character. She definitely brought a specific lightness to this story that made it much more of an interesting and unique read.

I enjoyed Claire's character. She was a lovely child who added humor and depth to the story. The only scene that seemed out of character, I thought, was her "adult" attitude of wanting to pick yellow roses for Sarah. I would have expected her to get teary-eyed about missing Sarah. At eight years old, she would still be considered to be in the stage before reasoning was developed. This selfless act seemed out of character for her age. (I still loved her personality!)Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑04 Mar 2020, 12:30 Another thing to consider in Claire the character...is how genuine she was as a childish character-she acted her age perfectly despite being a fictional character. This, at least for me, made her an essential part of the story and a lively one at that.
