Mr. D’Ulney
Mrs. Halloway is the Language Arts teacher at Eastham Middle School. She is initially prejudiced against Joseph Brook because she knows that he attacked a teacher at a juvenile facility before his foster placement with the Hurd family. But when she sees him reading intently, she recognizes that she has misjudged him and starts encouraging his love of books. After Joseph is tragically killed, she is among the few people to attend his funeral.
