Query:

[nilchance]

I need examples of awesome female characters in books appropriate for an 8-10 year old. Bonus fries if the characters are crafty. I've already got Lyra from the Golden Compass and Eilonwy from the Prydain Chronicles.

(Short version of the story: Jake Jensen is the best uncle EVER, and also soulbondomg.)

I can't believe I forgot Anne McCaffrey's Menolly! Dragonsong and Dragon Singer are Menolly's strongest books, but she's an important character in many of the Pern novels.
