Due to his race, he is often the target of racism and scapegoating from the Corrigan townspeople and is immediately blamed for any trouble. Jasper is a half-white, half-Indigenous fourteen-year-old boy who asks for Charlie's help in hiding Laura Wishart's dead body and in finding her killer. By the novel's end, he learns that his fear will never disappear instead, he must control his anxieties and develop a greater understanding of human morality and the complexities of others and the world. He is overly, irrationally fearful, and he doesn't understand how wrongdoings and injustices can occur. However, he is naive and innocent about the realities of the world, blinded by his own strong moral compass. He is intelligent, a budding writer who loves to read American literature.


He is a thirteen-year-old living in the rural, Western Australian town of Corrigan who dreams of escaping to New York City.
