Protagonist
The protagonist in this mystery novel is a boy called Homer Winthrop. Already in the first scenes in the novel you could easily see that Homer is a shy boy who doesn't like to share his ideas and thoughts. He prefers to be alone and think by himself. That is the reason that his sister calls him a pickle. When you think of pickle you would normally think of something sour meaning that Homer's mood was as sour as a pickle. So far I haven't found out what his physical appearance is but I infer that he is skinny and that his body is hunched. As I said, he is not an open guy who is confident in himself. People that have those characteristics in real life tend to be hunched.
Antagonist
So far, there is no clear antagonist in the novel but I have an idea who it might be judging by the title and by what happened in the novel so far. I believe that the antagonist is supernatural because the place where the whole book will take place. That place is an old house of Homer's dad and mom. Homer only went to that house once when he was a small baby and that was the time when his father was still living. This is going to be the first time that Homer would be at a place where his father had been before. Since his dad is dead and this the only place where he lived in his life, there might be a lot of answers in the house regarding his death. I am guessing that there will be something supernatural preventing or at least trying to prevent Homer from finding the out the truth about his past and his father.
