(2) 4-6 Will Tuppence is obsessed with proton decay, chess tournaments, and Saturday night Monopoly. Life throws out unplanned moments, though, and when a whopper comes his way, Will gets a Frank Capraesque opportunity to reassess his situation. Spinelli develops Will as sympathetic before revealing the self-absorbed perfectionist inside. There's sentimentality here, but also a multifaceted character with undeniable charisma.
