Pupils must sort the cards to match the name of the character, a brief description, a picture of the character and a quote about the character from the text.

This resource is a useful reminder to pupils about the names and roles of the characters in the story to help pupils to understand the novel as they read.
The characters are listed in order of appearance in the novel and split onto three separate groups, so that teachers can choose which characters to include in the sorting activity, avoiding spoilers.
