The First Stanley Yelnats
X-Ray is a small boy in Tent D. Despite his size, he's the leader of the group and is always first in line for water. Though he allows others to believe that he got his nickname because he has sharp eyesight, in reality, X-Ray is just Rex in pig Latin and he has terrible eyesight. After Stanley finds the fossil, X-Ray asks that if Stanley finds anything else, he give it to him—he's been at Camp Green Lake a year and believes he's the most deserving of a day off.
