Book Title: WITH EVERY MEMORY Character Name: Xander Dixon   Who are you? No doubt you were expecting one of the Mendenhalls, right? This story is really about them. They’ve been a bit busy ever since the, uh, accident. That’s why I’m here. But who I am probably depends on which member of the Mendenhall family you ask. Mr. Mendenhall – Michael – would say I’m the kid who eats through all the food in their pantry. Not that I can help it. Mrs. M. – I mean, Lori Mendenhall buys those animal crackers that are dipped in frosting and sprinkles because she knows they’re my favorite. She’s a cool mom. At least she used to be. Honestly, I’m not sure she remembers who I am now. As far as Avery Mendenhall goes? I’m her twin brother’s annoying best friend. Don’t listen to a word she says about me. Wait.
