Charlie is a tough girl but deep inside she is sweet and caring. As she moves to her aunt and uncle’s house she thinks that is going to be awful and annoying. However, when she starts living there for a few weeks she starts expressing her feelings inside that were hiding.

Charlie is a tough girl but deep inside she is sweet and caring. For example, when her sister Jackie told her that she was moving in with her aunt and uncle and her sister was moving in with her best friend she was really mad and thought to herself that it was not fair.  Why should her sister live with her best friend and she had to live with her aunt and uncle that she barely knew?!

When she gets to her aunt and uncles, she hates it. She thinks that where they live is boring and has so many hills and hates her princess sheets. As time goes on, she goes to school and hates it too. She meets a kid that is her backpack buddy and doesn’t like him either. 

Later in the book, she slowly starts to become friends with her backpack buddy and meets a dog in the woods and immediately loves the dog.  Her uncle says she could keep the dog if she can catch it. So she is trying to catch it and make it hers.

A few days later, she talks to her aunt about all of the bad things there and starts sobbing. She wants to go back home.

Later that week, Charlie apologizes and cries.

In conclusion, Charlie gets more sweet and caring later in the book when she realizes that not everything is bad.
