2007 Florida Quest
Meet The Trackers
LAUREN
Lauren, the leader of the club called the “Trackers,” has an inquisitive nature and loves to explore. She finds adventure wherever she goes. Lauren gets around in a motorized wheelchair she calls “Clipper,” after the fast-moving clipper sailing ships. Lauren is very resourceful. She earned the nickname, “Laptop Lauren” because she’s really good at using her computer, especially to research information. One of her main interests is in art; she paints beautiful watercolors of local landscapes.

NIKI
Niki is an honorary member of the Trackers. She is Lauren and Zack’s live-in sitter and also a college student, majoring in history. An honorary member of the Trackers, Niki frequently joins the Trackers in their attic clubhouse, the “Half-Moon Hideaway,” to share her insight into their various quests.
Meet the Trackers!
The Trackers (clockwise from left):
Niki, Ally, Ethan, Zack & Lauren
ZACK
Zack, Lauren’s brother and
youngest member of the Trackers, craves adventure. His outgoing
personality allows him to
easily adapt to new situations and meet new friends. Zack’s need to be in the “spotlight” makes him a natural for the stage or screen.

ALLY
Like Lauren, Ally is also an artist, but Ally’s creative side is expressed through photography. She has another talent; reading the mind of her twin brother, Ethan. Since the four Trackers must keep secrets from each other during this Quest, it keeps things especially lively.


ETHAN
Ethan, Ally’s twin brother, has a knack for facts and the hard truth.
He dreams of becoming a journalist or newspaper reporter and can often be seen jotting down notes and ideas for stories.
