Me too. I specifically read books with girl protagonists. In fact, that's pretty much all I read. If the main character isn't a girl younger than 14, I can't seem to get interested.

Who are some of your favorite female protagonists?

I always like the girls who are awkward outsiders. There is a great book called The Moorchild, and I really love that protagonist.

Also, there is a lady named Sylvia Cassedy who wrote three books, all of which are about awkward, anti-social girls who kind of escape into their own internal, mental world -- Behind the Attic Wall, Lucy Babbidge's House, and M.E. and Morton.

Damn, that's bringing up some memories, I haven't heard anyone else talk about it but it's great

It's a shame we only read the big three by her now (Princess/Garden/Lord). She was prolific.
