And I love ALL of the female characters created by Eva Ibbotson, who are re silient, sensitive, open to new worlds while trying to hold on to the old o nes, and very appealing to boys as well as girls.

I’m a big fan of Laurie Va lentine in Iain Lawrence’s The Giant-slayer .
In the spring of 1955, she visits her friend Dickie in the hospital who has contracted polio and is confined to an iron lung. She is s oon making regular visits, keeping Dickie and the others enthralled with her storytelling. She is so convincing, the children begin to see themselves in her stories. . . . the power of an individual, the power of story. Great stuff.
