Moose Freed Character Analysis

Moose is a 14-year-old boy who lives in Margaret’s neighborhood in Farbrook. He’s Evan’s best friend, which is how Margaret meets him. Margaret develops a crush on Moose instantly, so it’s convenient when Dad hires Moose to mow the lawn for the family. Though Nancy insists that Laura Danker goes behind the A&P with Moose and Evan, Margaret doesn’t see any issue with Moose’s behavior until she realizes that the rumor isn’t true—and she realizes Moose might have started it. But when Margaret calls him out on it, she suspects that Nancy actually started the rumor. Learning that Moose isn’t spreading lies about younger girls makes Margaret feel much better about having a crush on him.

Also, we just about gave up on our Boy Books. For one thing the names never changed. Nancy managed to shift hers around. It was easy for her—with eighteen boys. But Janie and Gretchen and I always listed Philip Leroy number one. There was no suspense about the whole thing. And I wondered, did they list Philip Leroy because they really liked him or were they doing what I did—making him number one because he was so good-looking. Maybe they were ashamed to write who they really liked too.
