  1. Welcome To The Ark By: Taylor Austin Karley Benton Brett Bowman Slade Michalec

  2. Douglas A. McAllister Doug has two brothers and one of their names is John and a father that he considering killing. He was 17 years and 2 months old throughout most of the book. He was born in Plattsburgh New York. He was on the brown horse in the dream. He loved animals and did not like to go hunting with his family. He dropped out of school in 1999 because he felt that school has nothing left to teach him seeing as he had finished high school math in 7th grade. He tried to get rid of all his anger by vandalizing cars and shop windows including those of his father and his brothers. He got admitted into Laurel Mountain Center For Research And Rehabilitation on June 15th, 2000. He was diagnosed under clinical depression. His father was the owner of a hardware store that he busted the window of and his mother was the clerk of that very same hardware store. Doug was the first of the four kids to get accepted into the Global Family Group Home Project.

  3. Elijah G. Raymond Elijah lost his mother when he was young but he still loved his grandmother Mama Effie dearly. He created his own world called Tondishi. One of the major characters in his world was Samson. He was 8 years and 2 months old. He was born in Franklinton, North Carolina. He was admitted into Laurel Mountain Center For Research And Rehabilitation on October 20, 1999 with no educational status. They didn’t diagnose him with anything specific, but they assumed it was infantile autism because of all his symptoms including no eye contact, no speech, rocking motion, and reacting negatively when touched. When he got to the ARK, he seemed to enjoy life a lot better. It was if all the noise and commotion messed with his mind. Rocking and his world Tondishi was probably his escape. His way to get away from all the noise and commotion.

  4. Miranda K. Ellenby Miranda Ellenby a sixteen year old known from her mother, Elizabeth Sterns, best selling book, Phenom in the Family. Also from her fathers multimillion-dollar business. Ran away, last seen by a doorman at the hotel she was staying for the Elite International Gathering, when she claimed she went for a walk. Next day she came back, uncooperative and insisting on her "Miranda Rights". She then later shaved her head before doing an interview for KIDS TODAY magazine. When during she told them she was an alien. Later being put into the Laurel Mountain Center For Research And Rehabilitation. Miranda was the second person to get accepted into the Global Family Group Home Project. Miranda knows many languages including one of her own that she created “Muktuluk.”

  5. Taryn M. Forrester Taryn’s dad disappeared right after her birth. Her mother died in a fatal car accident November of 1998. Since then, she has been under the care of her aunt and four cousins. Taryn is 9 years and 1 month old. Taryn was admitted into the facility as patient number 4978. At her admission, the status of her education was home schooling. She was admitted to Laurel Mountain Center For Research And Rehabilitation on March 6th, 1999. Thought to have hallucinations, severe depression, and possibly Schizophrenic tendencies. Her gender is female and her race is mixed. Taryn is capable of “reaching” out to living things. Taryn is extremely aware of the Armageddon theory. She believes in peace and no war.

  6. Harlan Turnbull Harlan Turnbull was one of the major people running the facility (Laurel Mountain Center For Research And Rehabilitation). Mr. Turnbull has an M.D. and a PH.D. He was very intrigued by Miranda Ellenby. He believed that her intense isolation could be a kind of psychosis in itself. When Noah and Abigail Periodes selected Miranda for the Global Family Group Home Project, Mr. Turnbull disagreed with this decision and claimed that Miranda Ellenby was his patient. He knew that the Periodes were up to something and he was the one to prevent it. Mr. Turnbull captured Taryn Forrester and gave her drugs toward the end of the book. His thoughts about her all along since the beginning of the book was that she needed drugs to sustain herself. He finally decided to take the matter into his own hands after having a friend attacked by birds and after he was too attacked. He blamed both of these attacks on Taryn Forrester. This lead him even more to the idea of drugging Taryn.

  7. Summary This book was very interesting in our opinion. The 4 children Miranda, Doug, Taryn, and Elijah were sent to Laurel Mountain Center For Research And Rehabilitation. From there, they were sent to a Global Family Group Home Project. Once there, they decided to name it The Ark. Many interesting things went on at The Ark. Miranda, Elijah, and Doug learned to connect just like Taryn did and they could control evil and hatred when they all connected together. They made Mr. Turnbull get hurt and they also made a boy named Timmy turn his intentions toward himself. Mr. Turnbull finally caught on to Taryn because she turned a swarm of birds on one of the parents of a child at Laurel Mountain. He kidnapped her and drugged her. It wasn’t until 8 years after this that Miranda, Doug, and Taryn finally met up again. They never found Elijah, but I expect them to find him in the 2nd book.
