Protagonist
Character Role Analysis
Helena Cranston
Helena is top dog (okay, more like top mouse) in this book. She's always at the center of the action, and she's not about to get pushed to the sidelines. Helena goes through a lot of tough stuff throughout this tale. From making big decisions about new adventures to letting her siblings go their own ways, Helena has a lot going on. (Hang in there, Helena—we're rooting for you.) The good news is that because she's our leading lady, we get to hear all about the good times and the bad.
