Zoo Slicky isn't a big fan of fishing. He actually finds it pretty painful. But it's his grandfather's passion, and Zoo loves his grandfather. And now that Grandfather has disappeared, Zoo would give anything to be fishing together again.

Zoo M. Slicky's parents are pretty okay (as far as parents go) but they have a weird obsession with how everything's supposed to be. They get really wigged-out when things don't go their way.
"Control freaks," Zoo says.
Love from Zoo M. Slicky, belatedly. Oops.
This is Bullwick Barnett. (That's his full name, but nobody ever calls him that). What he lacks in stature he makes up for in meanness. Extra spitty spit-balls are Bull's specialty. He's a total jerk, and at the same time he wants to be friends with Zoo! What the heck?
Ruthie is a year older than Zoo M. Slicky. She acts like she's a lot older, and when she's not busy ignoring him, she's very good at annoying him. But she is Zoo's sister, after all, and is pretty good in a pinch.
