Favorite book club character

Even though he's not all too popular, I'd want to meet Mackey. He tries to make the best out of the situation him and his sister are in, having their father re-marry. He tries out for a play and gets the lead role, and doesn't complain that he'll be in front of people performing. Even though he has to share a bedroom, just like everyone else, he doesn't mind it like Evyn does. He might be made fun of, and kind of boring because of his blemished face or his gruntled speach, but he's really nice and tries to help others see they don't have it so bad. Evyn oh the other hand, is a bit too melodramatic. She takes her stepmother's money and runs away all because her dog died. Mackey, just let it pass and said that the dog was old and it was bound to happen eventually. Mackey is more laid back and understanding about most things than Evyn is, and that's why I'd want to meet him.
