Accordian To Kellie.

Hello again! I am entering in this giveaway over at Accordian to Kellie.

Well, I am 9 years old but I will be 10 in April. I love to blog and I also host a challenge blog with my mom and I help my little brother with his blog. I LOVE to read and I would die without books. I love to read out-loud to my younger sister at night and I also love to play the piano.
2:What to you, forms the essence of a true heroine?
Well, first of all, I think she would have to be pretty. And she would have to be very brave and kind and loving, doesn't mind jumping of a cliff or something like that to save someone.
3: Share (up to) four  heroines of literature that you most admire and relate to.
Anne of Green Gables. (Can you tell when I do one of these kind of quizzes that I love Anne?:) And I think Emma is a definite heroine. And the March sisters mother, (Little Women) makes a perfect example of a heroine.
4: Five of your favorite historical novels?
Johnny Tremaine,
The Great Wheel
The Kit Kittredge series
The Molly McIntire series
I thought my soul would rise and fly- the diary of Patsy a freed girl.
5:Out of those five books, who is your favorite main character and why?
I like Kit Kittredge the American Girl growing up in the Great Depression. She loves her family, she is really smart, she's helpful and she would make a great friend.
6:Out of those five books, who is your secondary favorite character and why?
Conn from the Great Wheel. He follows his dream no matter what anyone says, he's very nice, and he married the girl I wanted him to marry. :)
7:If you were to plan out your dream vacation, where would you travel- and what would you plan to do there?
I would to Hawaii and learn to hula,:) and take ukulele lessons and have a good time.
8:What is your favorite time period and culture to read about?
Late 1800's and early and mid 1900's but I like any time period. I like books placed in England and Mexico but the USA is fine with me too. :)
9:You have been invited to perform at a local charity concert. Singing,comedy, recitation- what is your act comprised of?
Probably I would comedy and singing and I could put them together and sing badly!

Right now, mostly books in this time period. Like the Babysitters Club, The Best Friends, etc.

Hi, Emma! I'm so glad you joined the party!

I have to say, Anne is one of my favorite characters, too. I would love to hang out with her all the time!

And even though, I haven't read many of Jane Austen's books, they're on my (ever-growing!) reading list.

P.S. I love when the good guys marry who I want them to, too. :)

I love your answer to what a heroine should be! I don't know if I would ever have the courage to jump off a cliff and save someone, though! I guess I have some work to do. ;)

Thanks so much for posting your answers!

How did I miss this?! I tried to go through all the submissions... Well, I've found it now. :-)

I think you'd make a good Anne. And I'm so glad to see someone else include a mother as a heroine! The one I look up to is Mrs Walker from Arthur Ransome's books.

And I love Grace's hat, too - if you mean the purple one she's wearing in her profile photo? It's not my dream hat, but it's absolutely adorable.
