As we are running our first competition and asking people to name their teen heroines then it seems fair we should tell you who we would choose.
It is harder than I thought but having thought long and hard I give you... in no particular order:-
Sophie from Michael Scott's 'The Secrets on the Immortal Nicholas Flamel'. She has a whole load of magical powers dumped on her and is whisked off to shadow realms but all she wants is to get back to being a normal school girl again.
Jess from Nicola Morgan's 'Wasted'. She has a roller coaster time but keeps her head at all times.
Jess from Sue Limb's 'Girl 16 - 5 Star Fiasco'. Jess finds the dinner dance she is organising for charity is turning into a fiasco and has to try to ask for help - but to ask for help she must admit she is failing.
I have chosen these 3 because each of them, like Emma in 'The Killer's Daughter', exhibit qualities that I admire in the young. I have seen such qualities in both our girls but have sadly seen and known youngsters where those qualities are lacking!
I would strongly recommend each of these books but you can win a personalised copy of 'The Killer's Daughter' in our competition and the personalisation can, of course, be for a friend or relative or just yourself!
Thank you1 I love Jess in Wasted, too. Wish i could have been like her...
