Tater

Her excitement, however, takes an unexpected turn when her twelve lively cousins, her primos, arrive to stay for the summer. Initially, Tater is disappointed and frustrated by their intrusion, as she longs for solitude and personal space. She fears that her primos will disrupt her plans, invade her privacy, and create chaos in her life.

Tater's initial resistance to her primos' presence is rooted in her belief that they will encroach on her space, causing mess and disorder. She envisions her summer being ruined by their rambunctious energy and constant presence. Despite her reservations, Tater soon begins to understand that their presence is not a hindrance but a blessing in disguise. Her cousins play a crucial role in helping her unearth her true identity and explore the rich tapestry of her multicultural family history.

Tater is introduced as a girl with a clear vision of her future and who she wants to become. However, the arrival of her primos challenges this vision, causing her to become withdrawn and slightly anti-social. Despite her initial resistance, Tater's natural craftiness and resourcefulness come to the fore. She can be somewhat egocentric, believing her goals and aspirations to be loftier than those of her family, who she perceives as being more grounded and practical. This creates a tension between her ambitions and her family's values.

On the other hand, Tater is highly observant and possesses an open mind, traits that underscore her intelligence. This is somewhat ironic, as her sister Nellie points out that Tater does not enjoy school. Tater deeply cares about her family, particularly her little brother Bud. Her protective nature and affection for Bud highlight her strong familial bonds, even as she struggles with the changes brought by her cousins' arrival.

As Tater retreats to her newfound attic hideout, seeking solace and isolation, she begins to feel the sting of being left out. Realizing that she misses the companionship and vibrancy of her primos, Tater makes a conscious effort to engage more with them. In doing so, she discovers that her presence and actions inadvertently help her cousins step out of their comfort zones and embrace their true selves.

Through this journey, Tater learns valuable lessons about family, identity, and self-discovery. Her cousins, initially seen as obstacles, become catalysts for her personal growth. They help her appreciate the beauty of her multicultural heritage and the importance of family bonds. Tater's summer, once dreaded, transforms into a time of profound personal development, enriched by the love and support of her primos. She’s now over 18 and 20
