Claire

Claire was relatable and the humor of the entire book. Her relationship with her mother was the most real relationship in the storyline. I am glad that she was not killed in the end.

I think Claire was the only source of humor in the story and gave Hillary some balance in life. If she didn't have Clair, it seemed as if she would have little joy in her life.

Claire is a fresh breathe of innocence of the child she is, her mannerisms, speech and actions truly captured by the author

Claire's character was real, full of fun & humour and brought light to the whole story. Her soul was so pure; perfectly displaying the true character of kids. I enjoyed her character.

I agree.
Claire was a great spice for the plot and well-developed for her age. She had this sense of humor emanating from her childish mannerisms.

I felt the opposite. She was a cute kid, but all I could think about was glad she wasn't there for the bad stuff. Someone went into their room to steal Bridget's folder. When Sarah was murdered and then later, Claire was kidnapped. I am glad the author wrote Clair as a child doing child things, and that is probably why it was easy for me to worry about her throughout the novel when nothing was really directly endangering her. Except the last bit. But she had cute antics.

I agree and I enjoyed the humor Claire brought to the story and her character was well portrayed.

Claire, thinking of her role in the story makes me smile. Her role was very real and relatable. Being a teacher of kids that age makes it all the more real for me. Yes I agree, she brought life to the story.

I agree with pretty much everyone in this forum. Claire was such an interesting and relatable character. She definitely brought a specific lightness to this story that made it much more of an interesting and unique read.

Claire's character in the book show how brave some children can be, imagine a child being excited to ghost stories.

It reminds me of how reckless we were as kids. And there was definitely an excitement to learn about scary and ghost stories when I was a child too.

Yes, I agree. The writing of a child was excellent so the author did a great job with it.

Claire being in the story gives the book another interesting patterns which I believe all readers can easily figure out and find interesting too.

Claire brought so much humor and portaryed intelligence appropriately for her

Another thing to consider in Claire the character...is how genuine she was as a childish character-she acted her age perfectly despite being a fictional character. This, at least for me, made her an essential part of the story and a lively one at that.

I enjoyed Claire's character. She was a lovely child who added humor and depth to the story. The only scene that seemed out of character, I thought, was her "adult" attitude of wanting to pick yellow roses for Sarah. I would have expected her to get teary-eyed about missing Sarah. At eight years old, she would still be considered to be in the stage before reasoning was developed. This selfless act seemed out of character for her age. (I still loved her personality!)
