Main Characters
*Stephen "Sneeze" Wyatt: Sneeze, nicknamed for his horrible allergies, is a kid inventor trying to get his name out there by using his brilliant inventions. In 101 Ways to Bug Your Teacher, he loses his ability to invent and tries his hardest to find out why.
*Hector "Hiccup" Denardo: Sneeze's best friend (and sometimes not-so-willing test subject) Hiccup Denardo is a hypochondriac who comes from a large family. He is constantly worried about getting sick, usually going to extremes to prevent himself from becoming ill. He earned his nickname from the fact that he gets the hiccups whenever he is nervous or excited.
*Hayley Barker: Sneeze's other best friend. She runs the counter at the golf course where Sneeze works. She's usually very calm and collected, but on the inside she's grieving over the loss of her mother Alyssa. At some points in the book, it is hinted that she has a crush on Sneeze.
