Top Ten Tuesday: Characters who were kids in their books that I'd like to revisit as adults
1. The Pevansie children from the Chronicles of Narnia : Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter
2. Pippi Longstocking. remember her? The Swedish super hero? I wonder what she is up to today?
3. Miles "Pudge" Halter from John Green's Looking for Alaska
4. Eleanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell's characters from the book by the same title

6. Christopher Robin, the perpetual little boy in the Winnie-the-Pooh series. I understand his father, A.A. Milne, fashioned the character after his own son.
7. Ramona and Beezus, sisters in the books by Beverly Cleary. I adored Ramona especially and want to meet her as an adult.
8. Marie-Laure LeBlanc the blind protagonist in All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
9. Harry Potter. We got a glimpse of him as an adult in the last scene of the movie for book seven but I'd like to get to know him as an adult. What does he do with his time now that Voldemort is gone?
10. Liesel Meminger from The Book Thief
Bonus:
Imogene Herdman, a favorite character in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. She and her brothers were very naughty children but we saw a glimpse of her humanity toward the end of this book. What kind of person did she grow up to be?
