Question Zachary Turner

So, just how old is Zach? In the Book of Darwin Chapter 1, Jericho and Diamondback hug Mr. and Mrs. Turner and Jericho's eight year old brother. Two paragraphs later, Jericho is signing introductions for the benefit of his 13 year old brother.

Joe and Sandra were engrossed in a family group hug with Joe’s mother, father and eight-year-old brother. Jericho’s mother looked like the stereotypical “professional black woman” in many ways. Her hair was shoulder-length, and her clothing was clean and stylish, even for a vacation. His father was skinny as a rail, and only slightly taller than his wife. Were it not for the short hair and very different, friendlier face he would have reminded Caitlin of Worm’s wiry form.

Caitlin would have felt left out had the whole scene not reminded her more of the Parents’ Day get-togethers at the school.

Jericho, of course went first. “Guys and gals, these are my folks, Edith and Nathan Turner, and my little brother Zachary.” He actually signed along as he introduced his family for the benefit of the thirteen-year-old Zach, who was wearing what looked to be an older-style hearing aid that obviously had minimal effect on the boy.

The Gates at the Garden refer to him as a "young man" which seems better for a 13/14 year old than a 8/9 year old.
