He spends a lot of time watching TV and he has learned some things about survival from TV shows. This makes him very helpful in coming up with plans for the group.

     Another main character is Vanessa. She is the oldest of the group and is a leader. She makes sure everyone gets along and comes up with plans. The other siblings are always arguing and she keeps them under control. The last main character is Jane. She is the youngest but is also the smartest.
