"Grams clapped her hands at Gerta, who disappeared back out the hole in the screen, chattering with disapointment. Grams pulled closed the glass pane over the broken screen and locked it. 'I'l take out a stale muffin after lunch and leave it up in the tree. I don't want Gerta getting the idea she can claw her way in here anytime. My poor heart can't take you screeching like that first thing every morning.'" ( Heather Waldorf, 46)
I think that this quote shows many Mentor qualites that she has. The first is the point that the mentor aids the hero. In this book, Grams starts to play the role of a mother figure to Charlie. She provides for her, mentally and physicaly, by teaching, cooking, helping, and supporting Charlie. The second is the physical aspects of Gram. The essance of the mentor is a wise old man or women. Grams is litterly a wise old women, proving that charachteristic of a mentor. The third I have found is the point that the mentors role may be to teach the hero. Through her trip, Grams has taught Charlie many things about the lake, fishing, cooking, and many life lessons.
I think Grams was a perfect example of a mentor, and helped Charlie emensly on her journey.

I think the picture captures the mentor essance of Grams. Even though she may no be physicaly helping and mentoring Charlie, she is mentally and spiritually mentoring her.
