Woodstock
Snoopy's sidekick and best friend. A yellow bird, named after a famous festival that has problems flying.
Read a book with a yellow cover, or that it has a unusual sidekick. Or a book where some type of event is planned/happens. You can also choose a book where the main character has troubles with something he should be good at (e.g. a witch that can't do magic, or whose spells don't always work as they were supposed to).
Snoopy
Charlie Brown's pet beagle, is owned and cared for by Charlie Brown, although at times it is not clear who is in charge. Snoopy is blessed with a rich, Walter Mitty-like fantasy life.
Read a book where the main character doesn't need to work for a living. Or has troubles with authority. You can also read a book with a white or black (or both) cover.
Charlie Brown
The main protagonist, he's a lovable loser, a child possessed of endless determination and hope, but who is ultimately dominated by his insecurities and a "permanent case of bad luck". He is often taken advantage of by his peers.
Read a book where the main character is always ready to help, takes care of others or is often taken advantage of. Or read a book where the main character never loses hope of achieving something, or has a bad case of bad luck. You can also read a book with a brown/bronze cover.
Franklin
He first meets Charlie Brown at the beach. He mentions that his father is a soldier fighting in Vietnam and helps Charlie Brown build a sand castle. Afterwards, Charlie Brown invites Franklin to visit his neighborhood.
Read a book with a beach setting or trip. Or read a book where the main character has a military background or family. You can also read a book with a purple cover.
Lucy van Pelt
Charlie Brown's personal tormentor, she's bossy, crabby, and selfish girl. Lucy's most famous gimmick in her long existence as a character is the one in which she pulls the football away from Charlie Brown right as he is about to kick it.
Read a book where the main character is a selfish person, is cranky without coffee or chocolate, or that has a bully on it. You can also read a book with a blue cover.
Linus van Pelt
Lucy's brother. Linus always means well and tries to smooth over any storms that arise amongst the gang. A source of frustration for him is Lucy, who always belittles him, particularly over his security blanket. In spite of his insightful nature, he has a naive belief in the Great Pumpkin. He is Charlie Brown's best friend.
Read a book where one of the characters is "the glue that holds the group", or that believes in some myth or entity. Or read a book where a character has a "security blanket" or a lucky item. You can also read a book with a red cover.
Peppermint Patty
Academics are Peppermint Patty's weak spot (D minus is her most frequent grade), athletics are her strong suit (despite wearing sandals, which might be expected to hamper her movement). In her first storyline, she helped out Chuck's baseball team, though she later got her own team. She also has appeared playing football, hockey, and figure skating.
Read a book where a character favors sports instead of academics or is a sports fan, or plays some kind of sport. Or that is considered a bad student. You can also read a book with a green cover.
Sally Brown
Charlie's younger sister, Sally has a "take it easy" approach to life, preferring to slide by while doing as little work as possible. Her favorite pastime is sitting in her beanbag chair watching TV. Sally has wanted Charlie Brown's bedroom for years. Every time he either leaves home for a while (such as going to summer camp) or talks about leaving, the first thing she always wants to know is if she can have his room while he is gone.
Read a book that features sibblings or roomates, or where a character covets someone's belongings or achievements. Or read a book where the main character is blond or has an "easy life". You can also read a book with a pink cover.
Marcie
Marcie is an intellectual and a bookworm. She is well known for the high quality of her schoolwork, which provides a perfect contrast to Peppermint Patty's ineptness and has provided dozens of punchlines in the strip. She also has a talent for ice skating and music.
Read a book featuring a "brilliant" character or a bookworm, or that has some academic tutoring involved. Or read a book where a character has a surprising and unexpected talent. You can also read a book with a blak and red cover.
Schroeder
Even though Schroeder is an accomplished musician, his piano is only a toy, and the black keys are merely painted on to the white keys. In one strip, Charlie Brown tries to get him to play a real piano, although Schroeder bursts out crying, intimidated by its size. He's also known by his constant refusal of Lucy's love.
Read a book where the main character had an affinity with music. Or that has an unrequited love. You can also read a book with a purple or blue cover.
