The descriptions of most the monster hunters happen on page 89 or so.<br /><br />Andrew<br />A kid, stick-figure thin, emerged from behind a pile of rocks farther along the cobblestone road. On his head he had a cowlick called the “double crown” by haunted hairstylists the world over. He wore a white dress shirt—unbuttoned at the top—glossy black slacks, and thick spectacles that clearly labeled him as a member of the “out” crowd.<br /><br />T-Bone<br />Sky turned and saw a giant step out of the trees—not a literal giant, of course, just a very big kid. The newcomer looked just a little older than him, but he was bigger . . . much bigger. He stood nearly as tall as a Shadow Warg and looked to weigh nearly as much. He had mocha skin, like an islander, and he wore a Bahamas’ button-down, brown leather sandals, and Bermuda shorts, despite the cool weather.<br /><br />Hands<br />Hands looked a year or two older than Sky and a few inches taller, though not as tall as T-Bone. But where Sky was neither athletic nor flabby, Hands was most decidedly athletic. Hands stood, cool and confident, in a designer polo, expensive shoes, and banged-up jeans, but where the holes in Crystal’s jeans looked earned over many long years of wear by much bigger people, the holes in Hands’s jeans looked purchased.<br /><br />Crystal is described on page 28:<br />Instead he found a bright-eyed brown-haired girl stuffing something into her backpack as she exited Phineas’s property. She looked to be about Sky’s age, and her clothes were black, somewhat frumpy, and very baggy, like hand-me-downs that had been first worn and then trod upon by elephants.<br /><br />Sky is on the cover. He's also described on page 71/72:<br />Large ears poked out from beneath black hair, which was getting long enough now that it spent as much time in his eyes as on his head. His eyes were brown and boring, and his nose was pinched at the top, rounding into a little nub at the bottom that looked like a turnip. His face was oval and pale, like he’d had all the blood leeched out of him.<br /><br />He was skinny, but not horribly so. Hannah liked to compare him to an onion, not because he resembled an onion in any way, or because he was particularly complex. No, she liked to compare him to an onion because onions stank, and sometimes she was just not very nice.<br /><br />I'd love to get some illustrations of the main characters sometime. I'll add it to the list!EJ Pattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278748884948255334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217000342459556638.post-4974504888370637312011-11-25T14:57:46.454-07:002011-11-25T14:57:46.454-07:00That shadow warg looks AWESOME but i was wondering...That shadow warg looks AWESOME but i was wondering what the characters looked like...on page 83 it kinda gave you an idea but...Andrea (Andi, Ann) smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217000342459556638.post-74478783283493016172011-09-19T13:18:27.543-06:002011-09-19T13:18:27.543-06:00Very cool.
