I agree. Will is a very relatable character for all the reasons you've listed, plus he is a very endearing character as well. You can't help but root for him in this story.cristinaro wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 02:06 Following his sister's disappearance, Will's parents are overwhelmed by grief and despair. When time comes, Will doesn't hesitate to risk his own life to save Emily and make his parents smile again. Throughout his journey in Echoland and Olam Shone, it turns out that altruism is perhaps his biggest quality. For me, this is what made him a relatable character although I also appreciated his courage, his tenacity, his commitment to his friends, or his love for animals. What about you? Do you think Will is a relatable character? Why?

I agree with this. His behavior reflects maturity and empathy, and he is an open and accessible character in terms of writing/depiction. He comes across as understanding, brave, and responsible. He would make a good role model, especially for younger readers.B Creech wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 03:02 I definitely think Will is a relatable character. His courage is apparent from the beginning. I also find him compassionate and empathetic. I love his love for animals, but most of all I love his desire to find his sister and his concern for his parents. I'm still reading but so far I find him an exemplary character.

His determination to get his twin out of Echoland and reunite his family. This made him relatable since he must have felt somehow responsible for not returning with his Sister the first time.cristinaro wrote: ↑01 Sep 2019, 02:06 Following his sister's disappearance, Will's parents are overwhelmed by grief and despair.
