Arnold Schroder also known as Stubby is best friends with the protagonist, Madelyn Fynn, in the book When. In the book he can be described as loyal, positive, and kind-hearted.
Stubby is loyal because when he found out about Madelyn’s gift he chose to continue being friends with her and not leave. Evidence from the article that shows this is when Maddie said, “Stubs and I have been hanging out together ever since third grade when, after Mrs. Gilbert died, none of the other kids wanted anything to do with me.” Maddie also said, “Arnold Schroder. He’s my best friend. He can vouch for me.”
Stubby is also a very positive person because anytime something bad happens he always tries to fix it or say everything will turn out okay. Textual evidence
