Caleb Grzedek's Best Friends (PART 1)

Hello, everyone!

Today is Friday, and it's sunny in the Chicagoland area! I'm a peer leader for my college's Honors Program, and we are going on a retreat to a camp in Wisconsin for the weekend! I am so excited, and I'm sure everyone else who's going is as well!

Before I go to Wisconsin, I, of course, wanted to give you all character sketches of Caleb Grzedek's (The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs) best friends, Tad Beruve, Kathryn Ashley, Mark Davis, and Alessandra Marbanks. Because there are so many people that I am giving character sketches of, I will only give five facts of each person this week, and five more next week. The week following, I will give character sketches of Levi Cranston's (The Magic Video Game) best friends.

First of all, here is the character sketch of Tad Beruve.

* Cameron Thaddeus (Tad) Beruve was born on October 8, 1993 in Valparaiso, Indiana.
* He is the oldest of three; there is Tad, 12; Shannon, 10; and Andrew, 8.
* Tad is very interested in dinosaurs and has been since the age of five.
* His favorite color is green.
* Tad and Caleb met at at church gathering when they were eleven years old, and they have been best friends since.

Now, here is the character sketch of Alessandra Marbanks.

* Alessandra Katarzyna Kavaszcazch-Marbanks was born on June 13, 1993 in Warsaw, Poland.
* Alessandra has no full-blood siblings; however, she has two older half-sisters, Samantha, 26, and Jane, 23, on her father's side. They never make an appearance in any of the novels.
* Alessandra's biological parents are divorced; she lives with her dad and his fiance. Alessandra's mom lives in Highland, Indiana, with her second husband.
* Alessandra moved to the United States when she was four years old.
* Alessandra is half Polish, while the Grzedek's are three-quarters Polish.

Here is the character sketch of Kathryn Ashley.

* Kathryn Mae Ashley was born on July 2, 1994 in Merrillville, Indiana.
* She is the youngest of all the six full-blood siblings: Krystena, 26; Allen, 23; Jasmine, 21; Jennifer, 18; Alina, 16; and Kathryn, 11.
* Kathryn is very accident-prone.
* Kathryn's favorite colors are pink and purple.
* Kathryn has always liked putting on make-up, even when she was a little girl.

And, last but not least, here is the character sketch of Mark Davis-Ashley.

* Mark Jonathan Davis was born on August 28, 1993 in San Diego, California.
* He has no biological siblings.
* Mark was adopted by Kathryn's family when he was a baby.
* Mark is eleven months older than Kathryn.
