Character Meme 4 of 6: Charlie
It’s Charlie’s turn!
This is a little internet survey that I stumbled on and decided to fill it out on behalf of the main characters in Semester Aboard to help readers get to know them a little better! If you haven’t read it, don’t worry there are no spoilers!
If you missed the previous ones, be sure to read them! They can all stand alone, but are meant to be funnier as a whole: Thomas — Dani — TS
There are still two characters left to go! Head on over to Facebook and vote for who’s up next!
