4 roles
10 and 3/4 years old. A Kid Detective in the Nancy Drew sense. She will keep going and going and going, even at great personal harm to herself and the others around her. A strong moral compass that she believes will guide her to do the right thing, no matter what.
11 years old. The Sidekick to the Kid Detective. Imagine if Velma Dinkley was a shy and anxious little mouse of a girl. She is emotionally aware and a rational mind, but can get caught in the whirlwind of Penny’s plans.
11 years old. The Resident Bad Boy. His gruff attitude masks a kid haunted by the system. He just wants people to like him.
12 or 13. A down-on-his-luck, well-meaning middle schooler. Happy-go-lucky and in need of help
