Henry Character Analysis

Henry is one of the most physically developed boys in August's grade; he's described several times as already looking like a teenager. He and Miles begin the school year as Julian's trusty sidekicks, so they're often either complicit or actively involved in Julian's bullying. When Julian doesn't attend the camping trip, Henry helps save August from the seventh grade bullies and accepts August as a member of the community afterwards.

Henry still couldn't get his lock to open […] He got really annoyed when I was able to open mine on the first try. The funny thing is, if he hadn't put the backpack between us, I most definitely would have offered to help him.
