The highest ranking person that I chose was Sophie because I think at the beginning of the book she is very courageous. Although her being a mutant and knowing that if she was found out about that she would get in serious trouble she still wants to live like a normal kid. She wants to live a normal life and make friends that she discards her mom’s warnings and plays with other kids. And I think it is also important that some found out her secret and that she can connect with someone and become their friend. “She hung back, turning her attention to me again. She studied me with a serious expression for a second or two, then made up her mind quite suddenly.”, this quote is from the first time she met David. Being different she was concerned at first meeting someone new but she quickly realized David is someone she can trust. Sophie is very brave and courageous and although she has differences wants to live a normal life, and this is why I put her as the highest ranking. -John
