Many of the Julia Redfern books by Eleanor Cameron have probably gone out of print. She may still dwell on many library shelves, however, and what a delightful, clever character she is. Eleanor Cameron captures the emotional and intellectual development of Julia in a chronological series. Often baffled and sometimes stymied by the complexities of life in California in the early part of the twentieth century, Julia has an unconquerable spirit.
A recent stellar heroine, Eidi, of "The Children of Crow Cove," series is not only a survivor in a harsh environment (Scandinavia) peopled with a couple of scary villains, she single-handedly saves a small, vulnerable boy as well as herself. (I can't wait to read the next book in this series in which the small boy, "Tink" is featured. It comes out in May.)
