Alice Magnaye

Alice is one of Zach's best friends and goes along on the journey to Ohio. Watch out, though, because by the end of the book, she's upgraded to his romantic interest. Ooh la la.

Poppy Bell

Poppy is Zach's other best friend, the girl who instigates their entire adventurous trip. She and Alice have been Zach's constant companions for years, and while Alice and Zach might be on the brink of true love, it doesn't look like Poppy's going anywhere any time soon.
