There are two main characters in Andrew Clement’s children’s novel “The Last Christmas Concert.” Hart Evans, the protagonist in the story, is a popular, likable, sixth grade student who inadvertently has to take over the direction of the school Christmas concert. Although his classmates identify with him as a leader, they have a difficult time with his “teaching skills.”
The other prominent character in the book in Mr. Meinert, the chorus teacher who is supposed to direct school’s Christmas concert. He generally runs the class with an orderly manner which is the direct opposite of what happens when Hart takes over the Christmas concert. When Hart inadvertently hits him with a rubber band, Mr. Meinert loses his temper and decides to stop directing the students in the rehearsals for the performance. The story revolves around how these two characters resolve the issues surrounding the success of the show.
Other characters include Hart’s younger sister, Sarah, and two of his friends Alex and Zach. The school principal and the rest of Hart’s classmates are also included in the plot. Mr. Meinert’s wife, Lucy is another character who plays a role in the story.
