Milo's Wolves- third post

I have now read to page 184 in the book "Milo's Wolves" by Jenny Nimmo. It's still quit exiting.

From page 122 to 184 many exiting things have happened. It has been Christmas and McCool family missed Gwendal more then ever. But Christmas wasn't just a sad time for them. Milo had just got many jobs and that meant more money which meant more presents for the children.

After a while they found out that Gwendal is in France. One day they got a call from Jean Tisseyre that they have to come to his place. Milo and Laura began their journey to France! When they were there, Jean tells them that Gwendal is missing. Milo gets very upset.

Next day in Fort Saint-Luc Jean Tisseyre tells them a tragic story about his family. He said that Gwendal is a clone from Jeans son that drowned in a lake with his mother.

Now I'm going to tell about the persons who recently appeared in the story.

Jean Tisseyre:

Jean Tisseyre is Gwendal's father. He is quit old and he is tall and very straight for his age. His snow white hair is thick and he has a mustache in a style that is foreign. He wears dark clothes that has a rich velvety appearance. Jean has brown eyes and he has a strange gaze that concerns Laura. Jean always waits with telling the truth. He likes when people have to guess it. Jean is very rich. He owns a part of almost every company.

Jean used to have a son and a wife, Veronique. Sadly they died together in a lake. After that Jean is very sombre. I think he was much happier when his family was still alive.

First I got the feeling that Jean would do something bad to Gwendal when he came to France. But it's contrary, Jean is really nice. He is really trying to be a good father to Gwendal. Every time when Gwendal wants to play outside Jean is coming with him to watch him. I guess he is doing that because he doesn't want the same thing to happen Gwendal that happened to his other son. That shows that Jean Tisseyre is very protective. But still, I think it's something mysterious about this man...

I think it's good that Jean is in this story because he creates that mystery a story needs.

Nathan Culfire:

Nathan Culfire comes from the Society of Angel and he is trying to take Gwendal because he is an "Angel". Nathan has long black hair even though he is very old. He wears a grey fedora and a grey cloak. His eyes are hidden and Laura find him interfering, repulsive, threatening and odd. I find him odd but still nice. He actually helped an injured bird in the park once, and he helped Polly to get on her feet.

Nathan doesn't like when it is messy. I noticed that when he got very upset at Milo because it was messy in his house. Maybe he thought that a messy house isn't a home for an "angel" (Gwendal).

I don't really know what Nathan is doing in this story. The only thing he does is; come to the McCool family's house and say: "Give me Gwendal" or " Where is he?" and then he leaves because Milo says " Gwendal is ours!". He never does anything except that. It would be more exiting if he kidnapped Gwendal or something. I find Nathan useless in this story. But maybe he will do something in the pages I have left.

Raoul:

I think I could call Raoul Jeans assistant because he does everything for him. Cooking, cleaning and all sort of stuffs. Raoul has always been with Jean. When Jean lost his family he meet Raoul that also recently lost his family. Then he was just a kid so Jean decided to take care of him.

Raoul doesn't say much and he has a hard time accepting Gwendal because he has always felt like he is Jeans son and not Gwendal.

I like that Raoul is in this story because then you really get the image that Jean is rich because rich people usually have an assistant. // Anonymous
