Andrew McCalsky, Adam Levistad, and John Garfield

Hello everyone!

Last week, I gave a character sketch of Dawson Ingram, the oldest Ingram sibling in the family, as well as Brett and Toby Ingram. This week, I am going to give you all a character sketch of Andrew McCalsky, Brody's best friend, as well as David's best friends, Adam Levistad and John Garfield.

Here is the character sketch of Andrew McCalsky.

• Andrew Cameron McCalsky was born on November 17th, 1992 in Boulder, Colorado.
• He has an older brother, David John McCalsky, who was born on October 31st, 1985 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• Andrew is Brody Ingram's best friend.
• They are both on the baseball team.
• Andrew and Brody are in the same grade. 
• In the second novel, it is revealed that Andrew had his tonsils removed when he was four years old.
• Also, in the second novel, it is revealed that Andrew has asthma.
• Andrew and Brody have been friends since they were both living in Crown Point.
• Andrew considers himself to be more of a gamer.
• He is also considered to be the top in his class, along with Brody.

Now, here is the character sketch of Adam Levistad.

• Adam Brown Levistad was born on June 22nd, 1991 in Elmhurst, Illinois.
• He is an only child.
• Adam is African American.
• Adam is best friends with David Ingram and John Garfield.
• Adam plays tennis, but he is not the star player on the team.
• He spends most of his time either at the Ingram's house or at his cousin Benjamin's house.
• Even though David is extremely studious, Adam is not. 
• He is a decent student, but he doesn't always think he has to work hard to get good grades.
• Adam has been to England, France, and Spain with his parents and aunt, uncle, and cousin.
• Adam tends to be pretty quiet.
• He has aspirations to become a pharmacist.

And, last but not least, here is the character sketch of John Garfield.

• John Adam Garfield was born on August 9th, 1991 in Valparaiso.
• He has two other siblings: David Andrew and Kelley Ann.
• John moves from Crown Point to downtown Valparaiso at the very beginning of Rockybado.
• He plays tennis.
• In the first compilation series, it is revealed that John is the cousin of David's friend's girlfriend.
• John makes a brief appearance in the first novel in the Rockybado series.
• And then, he makes more appearances as the novels go on.
• Out of the six boys; David Ingram, Brody Ingram, Toby Ingram, Andrew McCalsky, Adam Levistad, and John himself, John is the only other boy who is left-handed besides Brody.
• John has a huge obsession with cats.
• It appears at first that John might be a bit OCD; however, he admits that he is not.

Next week, I will talk about my inspirations for each of my series. In the meantime, however, Rockybado will be listed on Amazon for 99 cents until Monday, and its sequel, A Run in the Game, will be listed for free until Monday! So, be sure to check them both out! 

Have a great weekend!
