AGE
Twelve
Energetic, optimistic and convinced almost every problem has a simple solution.
THE CENTRAL CHARACTER
Alex Frayne
“It'll be fine... probably.”
Twelve years old. Cheerful, optimistic and always ready with Jake's idea—although Alex would probably prefer some of those ideas had never happened.
WHO IS ALEX?
The Friend Everyone Needs
Alex Frayne has an endless supply of enthusiasm, confidence and ideas. Unfortunately, not all of those ideas are good ones.
He has a talent for seeing the funny side of almost every situation and is often the person encouraging Jake to take chances he would normally avoid.
Beneath the jokes, however, Alex is fiercely loyal. When Jake or Jack genuinely need him, he never hesitates to stand beside them, no matter how difficult things become.
