Recently KStew's Book Reviews reviewed Deep Green and said:
"I enjoyed this story because I liked Leah a lot. She was a strong female lead for me...She adapted when needed and she prevailed. There aren’t enough strong females like her in the book world!"
That got me thinking:
Who is your favorite strong female character in a Young Adult book or YA-appropriate book?
I think my favorite would be Kit from Elizabeth George Speare's The Witch of Blackbird Pond. She does the right thing and supports decent people, regardless of how it makes people hate (and want to kill) her.
It is one thing to fight for your own survival, and even to fight for your family... those things are natural. It is above and beyond to risk your life to fight for others simply because it is the right thing to do.
