Luke Sanderson

A few years older than Brandon, Luke Sanderson lived up to his nickname. From a young age, Big Luke was taller than most of the children in his class. He was very fond of eating fatty foods and so became wider than most of the kids in his class. Coupled with his tall stature, Big Luke became enormous. So as not to be made fun of, Luke began lifting weights and became very strong. He quickly began bulling children smaller than him, which made just about everyone a target.

Hidden beneath a dirty baseball cap, Big Luke Sanderson had dark, greasy medium length hair, and poor skin. Both cheeks were marked by acne scarring.

Author’s Note:

Big Luke Sanderson is one of the more exaggerated characters in the Brandon Sparks Universe. He marks Brandon’s life before he boards the Hidden Sun. He is the mountain that Brandon fell off of and now has to try and climb back to the top. When I was showing early drafts of the book to friends, Big Luke Sanderson drew some very angry responses. People wanted Brandon to get revenge on him. We’ll see what happens.

Charlie’s Note:

It is not in my nature to hate. I am a computer and I make rational decisions. Hate is not rational but in this case I will make an exception. Actually, I won’t. I do not hate Luke Sanderson, I just wish he had never crossed paths with Brandon. Having greater access to information than anyone in the history of the universe, I followed Luke’s life from time to time and it was not pretty.
