Most people cannot relate to it. It was the determination of a boy who had seen his family destroyed and would do anything to make his family whole again. He believed getting Emmy to his parents was vital and helping William would help him achieve this.Kro92813 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2019, 21:25maybe for you, but I personally cant relate to that amount of determination I am more of the hide and cry in the face of danger typeFerdinand_otieno wrote: ↑23 Sep 2019, 04:41His determination despite the overwhelming odds against him were very likable and relatable.Kro92813 wrote: ↑23 Sep 2019, 04:26 I personally cant relate to a 13 yr old boy who lost his sister to fate sealers and goes to a parallel realm to find her.

I definitely could not have put it any better. I completely agree with you.Julie Petitbon wrote: ↑24 Sep 2019, 21:47 Will has so many characteristics that people can relate to - empathy, loyalty, love of family, bravery. His love of animals is something readers can relate to as well. I all of these qualities together showed such depth of character - that's what makes him relatable.

And I find it sad that his parents push him to the backburner looking for his sister. It seemed like their sole life purpose was to find his sister a d they left poor will in the dust

His perseverance was out of this world! I would have crawled in a corner and cried lol no way would I have been that brave at 13ElizaBeth Adams wrote: ↑26 Sep 2019, 07:57 Will's perseverance is endearing to me. I believe this made him very relatable. He is also very kind to the people he meets in this new world.

His empathy, among other characteristics, made me feel he was older than he was. Like an old soul. Very mature for just 13.
