Julianna Baker (Juli for short)
The actress who plays Julianna Bakers is named Madeline Carroll. In both the book and the movie Julianna is a determined girl an it shows in almost every situation. The book describes her as having brown hair and brown eyes. She likes the outdoors and animals as she raises chickens and has a dog and spends her free time fixing the yard and climbing the Sycamore tree. She has 2 older teenage brothers and 2 loving parents. "Do you realize I've lost over a hundred dollars giving these eggs to you?" she says at one point. She gives Bryce free chicken eggs when she could get profit and she was just showing kindness and selflessness. She has a massive crush on Bryce, her across the street neighbour, that consumes her everyday life. She's over reactive and oversensitive about almost everything, like her Uncle David, her Sycamore tree and of course Bryce. She's smart and she knows it but when it comes to Bryce she is in unmarked territory.
Bryce Loski
"My mom didn't understand why it was so bad that "that cute little girl" has held my hand. Although my mom didn't know, I had enough common sense at age seven and a half to know that Juli Baker was dangerous", or so Bryce thinks. The actor who plays Bryce is named Callan McAuliffe. Bryce is a shy but strong boy. He has blonde hair and "sparkling" blue eyes. He has a typically annoying older sister and a caring mother and father. Bryce is a quiet person around some people but he voices his opinion with others and sometimes his big mouth gets him in difficult situations, like when he makes fun of Juli's uncle and gets the 2 into a big fight. He believes that he is living across the street from his worst nightmare, Julianna Baker. Julianna has a huge crush on Bryce, but he thinks different of her. He thinks she's crazy annoying, weird and just overall not good to be around. Bryce isn't the smartest person in his class and is even more confused when it comes to social issues. Bryce tries his hardest to fit in just like anyone else and is having his problems.
Juli's Mom (Trina Baker)
Juli's mom has brown hair and brown eyes. She lives with her loving husband, daughter (Juli) and two sons(Matt and Mike). She has a very positive attitude towards everything. She is very kind and thoughtful and is always looking for an opportunity to get closer with her daughter. She doesn't understand why her daughter likes Bryce because she believes that he is not a good person on the inside but supports her anyways. She has a job as a substitute secretary and works whenever she can.
Juli's dad (Richard Baker)
Juli's dad has dirty blonde hair and blueish green eyes. He is an aspiring artist who is most calm when he is painting. He is not very good in the garden and tends to make weeds instead of grass. He has a brother who doesn't live with them named Uncle David who he goes to see once a year for his birthday. He also has his 2 sons, a wife and his daughter. He loves the outdoors because it inspires him to paint. He is easy going and open to everything. Also he loves animals because he found a dog on the street and brought it home and allowed Juli to keep it even when his wife was against it. He also did a thorough job helping Juli with her egg hatching project and knew exactly what to do.
Bryce's Mom (Patsy Loski)
Rebecca De Mornay is the actress who plays Bryce's mom. Bryce's mom has blonde hair and blue eyes just like her son, Bryce. She is a kind and caring mother to her daughter Lynetta and son Bryce. She is very welcoming to everyone although it may take some time. I think this because she invited over the Bakers (after 6 years of living there)even though Bryce and his dad thought it was a bad idea. She is like Juli in a way because she can't look past someone's looks to their true personality until it's too late. She doesn't see how impolite or judgemental her husband is until after a long time of marriage.
Bryce's Dad (Rick Loski)
Anthony Edwards is the man who plays Bryce's dad. At the beginning of the story he seems very nice and loving but later on as you get more into the book you see his true character which is mean, rude, and judgemental. He doesn't like the Bakers because of the way they live and makes cruel jokes about them. Chet: "His brother is retarded, he suffered from a lack of oxygen at birth..", "Well that explains a lot!" and he started laughing. It was the worst part of the book in our opinion because it was such an insensitive comment. He is almost completely bald but he has a bit of hair on the side of his head and that hair is brown. He has brown eyes unlike the rest of his family.
Bryce's Grandfather (Chet Duncan)
John Mahoney plays the caring and selectively positive grandfather, Chet. Chet is Bryce's mom's dad and he lives with the Loski's. For the majority of the day he sits and looks out the window just reflecting. One day he sees Juli fixing up the yard and offers his assistance. Just this one act of kindness shows that beneath all that tough exterior is a funny and amazing person. He can see past someone's looks, unlike his daughter, and sees how bad Bryce treats Juli. He wants to help her and is just showing another way he is caring. Like Juli, he is wise and determined showing it in everything he does if you look hard enough.
