PROTAGONIST: The PROTAGONIST or main character in this book is Stevie Crumb. Stevie Crumb is a tall 12-year-old girl whose height makes her stand out in a world that can be disrespectful. On page 4 it says, "My jeans don't go over my ankles, my baggy hoodie is too tight and small, my sweatpants are too skinny, I definitely need new clothes." This shows that Stevie thinks she's too big for her clothes.

STORY ARCHETYPES: I feel like the book describes kind of a Cinderella vibe. I feel this because Stevie wants another tall boy to be her boyfriend and not a short boyfriend. I know this because on page 87 it says "I wish I could find someone as tall as me. They'll get me." this means that Stevie wants to find someone who is also struggling with their height.

AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE: I feel like this book was written for tall people because this shows how Stevie can make her way through daily life being taller than most of the kids in her school. On page 63 it says "If you're tall like me, you'd get it. Most of the kids at my school are inches shorter than me. I wish others could Experiencewhat its like to be like me."

TYPES OF CONFLICT: Character vs. Character. Stevie Crumb is against Fiona because Fiona always makes fun of Stevie for being awfully taller than her peers. On page 31 it says "I recently joined a debate club but I didn't know Fiona ran it. Fiona looked up at me with her signature smirk and said to Ms. Crenshaw, 'Some debate clubs are small, so I think Stevie should find another.' Geez, what is her problem?"
