Send me your ideas of what Jack looks like!
Jack is Rhe and Will Brewster’s six-year-old son. By the time of Death by Pumpkin, he is seven and in second grade. Rhe had problems getting pregnant and Jack was conceived by in vitro fertilization. Rhe wants another child and is pregnant in Death in a Dacron Sail.
Jack looks very much like his father, with whom he has a close relationship through the first book. He’s tall for his age, gangly, with floppy light hair. He has ADHD, which has been a stressor on the Brewster’s marriage because Jack sees a counselor (a hit to their budget) and has the usual difficulties such children have with focusing and doing homework. By the third book, Jack has developed a wicked sense of humor and loves telling puns and knock-knock jokes. He is also close with his Uncle Sam, Will’s brother, and has loves spending time with Paulette, Ted, Sarah and Tyler McGillivray. Paulette is Rhe’s BFF and Tyler is Jack’s age.
Death by Pumpkin – coming in May
Jack sounds adorable! I bet he has little freckles across his nose and a gapped-tooth grin.
Now that’s a vision!
I remember the resourceful and cheeky boy in Home Alone. Fair haired, freckled, short nosed, sparkling clear green eyes…
Early Cauley McCulkin!
I think he got into a lot of trouble as an adult.
Yes, he’s turned into a rather ugly adult. Sort of overlaid my thought of have him as Jack.
It’s a great idea for the series of posts, Noelle. I must confess for some of my characters I don’t have a clear idea of what they look like (I know how they are character-wise but…).
Olga, some of mine a rather vague, too. If I bring them back, I have to have a decent vision.
He smiles, nods, laughs through his nose and loud to get attention!
Love the vision of laughing (snorting) through his nose. Keep these ideas coming!
It’s all in the eyes, intense eyes. His attention deficit doesn’t help his focus, but he’s a smart kid, and it’s all in his eyes.
Wait until you see which child actor I see as being close to Jack!
This is Josh, who could look like Jack! Bonnie
