Mrs. Avery Character Analysis

Nick's fourth-grade teacher; he thought she looked like a hawk. Because of this, when Nick learned that some small birds can create high-pitched sounds that confuse birds of prey, he began making those noises during class. Mrs. Avery never figured out who made the noises, though she did wrongfully accuse Janet Fisk at one point. The narrator notes that Mrs. Avery simply learned to tune out the noise.
