Paragraph two-
The human characters in the novel are just as captivating. The main human character, Kate Waterbee, is a typical thirteen-year-old. She is secretly angry with her parents because they have no decent excuse for forbidding her from getting a pet. Kate believes that “allergies would have at least evoked some sympathy. But her parents’ noses and eyes could handle a dog or a kitty. It is their worried minds that fear an animal whining at them all the time.” While pleased with their mellow daughter, Kate’s parents fear adopting a needy, demanding pet could alter that attribute.
