Rhonda Hathaway
Rhonda is twelve years old and close in age to Lydia Livingston. She is taller than Caroline, with auburn hair. Caroline thinks that she dresses very fancy, but this is partially because she is expected to as the daughter of an army officer. Rhonda acts more "adult" than Caroline. At first, she and Caroline do not get along--especially when Caroline feels that Rhonda is intruding on her life---but they soon become friends. Rhonda and her family are originally from Albany, New York. Due to her father's job as an army lieutenant, the Hathaways have frequently moved from place to place in order to stay together. read more
