Character Role Analysis

Zach Barlow

While Doll Bones is the story of three friends, Zach is our main dude. That's because the third-person narrator gives us access to his thoughts and feelings, guaranteeing that he's the one we not only know the best, but also the guy we root for. We are so freaking relieved when he finally tells Alice and Poppy about what his dad's done to his toys. Aren't you?
