Here is Willa's description, still working on finding Maks' LOL I do have a blurb about him though that i found on Supersummary.com (Despite his bold exterior, Maks is kind and sensitive, and he longs for a quiet, contented life for his Danish family.)

Willa: "She's taller than Maks. Skinnier, too. So he's looking up at her, she down, with a face smeared with grime. Her hair is dirty, long, snarled, and twisted into greasy knots. She's wearing a faded green shirt, which must have been some lady's 'cause bits of lace, like a tattered spider's web, are curled round the collar. As for the girls skirt, its brown, long, filthy, ripped at the hem. Don't even reach her ankles, so Maks can see her bare, bruised feet with their nasty scabby toes" (AVI 5).

Hope this helps!! :)(less)
