Does Brian Robeson have siblings?

No. Brian Robeson is an only child whose parents have recently divorced. At the beginning of the novel, Brian continually refers to "The Secret," which is the cause of his parents' divorce. Apparently, Brian's father is unaware that his wife has been cheating on him with an anonymous blond-haired man, who Brian saw one day while he was riding his bike through the mall's parking lot. The court orders visitation rights for both parents, which is why Brian is flying over the Canadian forest to spend summertime with his father. Gary Paulsen never mentions that Brian Robeson has any siblings throughout the novel. The fact that Brian is visiting his father alone in the Canadian forest also indicates that Brian is an only child. If Brian were to have a sibling, they would more than likely be traveling with Brian to spend the summer with their father too.
