Character Role Analysis

Mo and Anna Celeste

Mo and Anna Celeste are both girls and are in the same grade at school, but that's where their similarities end. These two are sworn enemies because they come from such different backgrounds. Anna Celeste comes from a "good" family in town and looks down on Mo because she's a foundling from a nontraditional family. But over time, Mo comes to realize that Anna Celeste doesn't actually think less of her or hate her—she's actually just jealous because Mo has such nice guardians while Anna Celeste has the meanest mom ever. They come to a sort of truce by the end of the book.
