The latest trend, outside of dystopias and love triangles, is a kick-ass female lead and I am on-board. But I'm not just limiting my heroines to adventures. Girls (and boys) can kick butt in non-adventures. So, here are my
Top Ten Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines
1. Hermione - Harry Potter
2. Annabeth - Percy Jackson and the Olympians
3. Nancy Drew - Nancy Drew series
4. Claudia Kishi - Baby-Sitters Club
5. Ramona - Ramona series
6. Violet Baudelaire - A Series of Unfortunate Events
7. Katniss - The Hunger Games
8. Matilda - Matilda
9. Turtle - The Westing Game
10. Tris - Divergent

ANNABETH. I love her! And Hermione's a given, of course. Ramona's a great choice, too; I kind of wish I'd thought to include her. So many options!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. :)
Good list. I love Annabeth, Hermione and Violet as well.
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten about Turtle Wexler! The shin-kicking, stock market whiz little girl! Violet and Matilda are wonderfully tough kids geniuses too. I have Katniss and Hermione on my list as well. :)
