Many characters have more than one name. A nickname and a real name.<\/p>\n

One or two of the romantics acquire personal pet names which are used only by their romantic partner. Nutjob being the first example of a character with many names. Born \u201cDavid Wood\u201d, he soon became \u201cDave\u201d when he was young. Later, as a result of his personal qualities he is nicknamed \u201cNutJob\u201d at school. Later still, his girlfriend decides to name him \u201cDash\u201d as a token of her affection, and she alone calls him \u201cDash\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s both amusing and confusing, not least of all for the author and his publisher! As the characters mature across the series of six books, some of the characters start using their real names. This is particularly prevalent with the pirates. This website provides broader details for many of the 84 characters in Book 1, and includes headshots of the more common ones.<\/p>\n

The novel is a giant jigsaw puzzle. It will take you a little time to piece together the big picture, to see who’s who and how they all connect. Of fundamental importance to understanding the relationships are some of the key locations like The Noble Coliseum<\/a>, the Find Thyme Caf\u00e9<\/a>, and Broadland Park High School<\/a> which are among several notable features listed on the Places<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

From the outset the obvious romantic couple is KristalClear and NutJob. Others develop, with a big reveal (or two) towards the end of Book 1. Undercurrents in Book 1 may lead you to guess other liaisons, which are not revealed until Book 2 (due out in November 2026).<\/p>\n
