HIT:Girls as main character in new fiction

[Mary <maryl@RICA.NET>]

How about . . .?
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
The Fledgling
Queeny Peevy  (not sure of spelling)
Betsy Byer books
Madeline L'Engle books (I love Meg)
Katherine Paterson Books
(Or are these too old?)

Judy Moody Books (a new series)

Also, here's a link to a great site:
VA Center for Children's Books
http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/go/tempo/VCCP.html

 Off of the main page, click on books by genre, then go to Contemporary
Realistic Fiction.  There's lots more to explore on that site as well.
