Miss Wheeler is Ralph’s teacher at school. During his fight with Freddie Sprague, she does not intervene, allowing Ralph to win. This illustrates her understanding of child playground politics, as well as her sympathy for Ralph’s plight. As the story progresses, she grows closer to the Moody family, often visiting Ralph’s parents with Carl Henry to talk and play games.
