Amos is one of the bigger boys in August's grade. Though he initially aligns himself with Julian and bullies August, he's also one of the first boys to actively stand up to Julian. At the class camping trip, Amos leads August's rescue from seventh-grade bullies from another school and even punches a boy named Eddie. When August cries afterwards, Amos proves himself kind and sensitive when he holds August and lets him cry.
