Character Analysis

The second-youngest sister of them all, Kale is still more baby than kid. For one thing, she still screams and bites: "Though only two, Kale had a screaming voice to shame a prima donna. In fact, once she started screaming, she only stopped if she got what she wanted, or if she threw up […] Kale was also a biter" (6.19). She has a thing for biting Mr. Bradford, and Bramble sometimes calls her "Kabbage" (22.143) as a joke.
