Angie Steadman

"This place is an intellectual wasteland."

- Angie Steadman

Angie Steadman (born May 13, 1996) is a character that appeared exclusively in the movie. She is a seventh grader who works for the school paper. Much like Greg and Rowley, she dislikes middle school. Throughout the school year, Angie gives Greg and Rowley information about the workings of middle school, which she believes was created to store kids while they make the awkward transition between children to teenagers.

Angie seems to be quite intelligent, judging from what she says, and also because she likes to read. Greg first meets her when she is avoiding sports by reading a book underneath the public benches by the sports field. She is also involved with publishing the school paper and asks Greg if he wants to help with it. Greg replies that he intends to be 'in' the paper a lot, not 'on' the paper. This later proves true when Angie takes a photograph of Greg being pinned down by Patty Farrell during wrestling which later appears on the paper's front page.

Trivia

 * Angie is not a character in the book series, and is the only main character not visible in the books. Before the film was announced, many people believed that Angie was a remake or renaming of Holly Hills, but it was later announced that she was a character created exclusively for the film.
 * Even though she seems to be intelligent, she mocks the school for being an "intellectual wasteland," and comes up with rumors about the works of middle school that are false. This could be that she is not fond of the school building itself, rather than school as a whole.
