Multiple Choice

15-year-old Luna just moved from her childhood home in California to Philadelphia. She is having a really hard time making friends at school. Her strange name and the beat-up, rainbow-colored van her dad drives

her to school in every morning have not made it easy on her.

She's only made one friend so far: Ollie, who lives down the block and has a pet snake also named Ollie. Everyone else thinks Luna's too weird, and besides, they're jealous of her shoes.

She has every kind of shoe. Cute sandals, hip skate shoes, high heels wedges, boots, and bright white sneakers—she wears a new pair each day. Little do her classmates know, she makes them all herself.

Protagonist

The protagonist is the character with the starring role in your book. In most novels, the protagonist is on a journey to get what they want more than anything else in the world, whether it's fame, or revenge, or something as simple as joining the high school soccer team.

Antagonist

The antagonist is the character in a novel that gets in the way of the protagonist achieving their goal. That doesn't mean that all antagonists are evil monsters, though! Some antagonists stand in the way because they're jealous, or confused, or have a set of different goals than the protagonist. For example, if Nia tries out for a role in the school play but Maddy gets it instead, it doesn't mean Maddy is bad. She just wants the same thing! Some antagonists do terrible things but think they're right. Others, like Voldemort from Harry Potter, are just plain evil. It's up to you to figure out what your antagonist's deal is.
