JAKE'S WORST NIGHTMARE
“Can I help you... or are you just being strange and insignificant?”
Twelve years old. Confident, outspoken and fiercely loyal to her own circle of friends. Katie isn't interested in making a good first impression—especially if you interrupt her day.
WHO IS KATIE?
Katie Bennett is one of Ruby Mason's closest friends. Confident and outspoken, she has little patience for people who waste her time or ask what she considers silly questions.
Jake's first meeting with Katie leaves a lasting impression. She looks at him as though he's just crawled out from under a stone, making it perfectly clear that he isn't part of her friendship group.
Although Katie can seem blunt and difficult to approach, her loyalty to the people she cares about is never in doubt.
