Dunlap is a local boy and Stevie’s older brother by about a year. He and Stevie make a point to chase, torment, and taunt Opal whenever possible. However, Dunlap offers clues throughout the novel that he’s much more mature and empathetic than Stevie. He occasionally waves to Opal and graciously accepts Opal’s invitation to the party at Gloria’s. When he and Opal finally talk honestly with each other, Dunlap reveals that he never really thought Gloria was a witch and only tormented Opal because he wanted to be friends. It seems likely that after the novel’s close, Dunlap and Opal will indeed become friends.

And we still got a party going on.”
